hardheaded Posted March 31, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 31, 2013 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. hardheaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinBeyer Posted March 31, 2013 Share #7 Posted March 31, 2013 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! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
