hirsca Posted July 28, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2011 Another Midwest road trip find. Is the chevron a rank or an overseas stripe? Thanks, Al Hirschler in allas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohn#3RD Posted July 28, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 28, 2011 Hirsca, I have several versions of this pin; I believe it is a pin that veterans wore after discharge to show the amount of time they served overseas with each chevron representing 6 months with the AEF.

Dave Posted July 28, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 28, 2011 Yep, a souvenier pin...I've seen these with 1, 2, and 3 chevrons...often incorrectly attributed to the person as their rank... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfields Posted July 28, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 28, 2011 Agree with the others. I've occasionally seen them being worn on the soldiers overseas cap in probably their final in-uniform photo. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
