Patriot Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted May 7, 2013 I could not scale the images properly, which has made the writing difficult to read. If there is interest, I can try for better pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted May 7, 2013 Believe it or not, it was an eBay find for about $35 - about 4 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share #12 Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks Timber - There were only around 3,500 Marines that served (out of over 4 million servicemen overall), and only a fraction of those actually saw combat. Now think of how many of THOSE who were actually WOUNDED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
