ajbUSWM Posted February 10, 2017 Share #277 Posted February 10, 2017 In checking the officers who have the Navy Cross and three Distinguished Service Medals seem to be pre-Vietnam. I can't find anyone that these ribbons would align with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASEUSA11B Posted February 10, 2017 Share #278 Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks for the info gentlemen. I got these with a large group of Marine stuff from the Palm Springs area. The uniforms were all from the 80s and to an enlisted Marine. These were in a bag along with other insignia and aviation wings. I got a good deal on the whole lot and these weren't even shown in the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atb Posted May 23, 2017 Share #290 Posted May 23, 2017 Don't want to leave out the Air Force. USAF Vietnam, Defense Meritorious Service, Air Force Commendation Medal mini group. "If you can't stitch, glue will do." While the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) is awarded by all services, it is not a "Defense" Meritorious Service Medal (DMSM). The DMSM is a joint service award and is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim2 Posted May 23, 2017 Share #292 Posted May 23, 2017 I believe that is actually a Michigan national guard broad sword medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerialbridge Posted May 23, 2017 Share #293 Posted May 23, 2017 atb and jim2-- thanks for the corrections. I found what appeared to be that "sword medal" listed as a BSA WW2 medal on a militaria dealers website....And repeated the error, it seems.

Absolutely stunning rack! Thanks! I actually didn't bid on it when it was an auction initially. The seller relisted it as buy it now and a really great forum member let me know about it. Now to try and track down any Adm. Holloway III items for a really neat father/son group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
