Picked up a few Marine Corps League items

Hi,

 

I was out on the hunt for some military stuff yesterday and found these Marine Corps League items.

Once again buying something I know nothing about. Walked into this little shop and met the owner who is partially disabled from fighting the VC and is now fighting cancer. He had very little in the way of military items but I couldn't leave without picking these up and a few non-military items. Although I only managed to pick up these three small pieces, I left with something more valuable, the memory of the hour or two spent talking to this Marine.

Nice set!

Some where around here I have some Marine Corps League Medals, one in the box. I never knew they issued medals.

I'm sorry for posting in this section. I just noticed there is a veterans' organization section.

I'd say that those badges are pretty cool. I have never seen a Military Order of the Devil Dogs badge before. Thanks for sharing!
