Flyarmy Posted February 26, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 26, 2015 This is my favorite lapel pin, it was issued along with my Defense of Freedom medal. Anyone else have any newer medal lapel pins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFnav Posted February 26, 2015 Share #2 Posted February 26, 2015 That's a nice lapel pin and a nice medal. Did you earn the medal? As a fellow DoD employee, my hat is off to you! I've earned two lapel pins for my civilian service: one is a 10-year employee award, the other is the Joint Duty Assignment award. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsca Posted February 26, 2015 Share #3 Posted February 26, 2015 Is it just me, or are there others out there who also do not see a picture of the medal? Thanks, Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyarmy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted February 26, 2015 I was working security in Afghanistan and we had a VBIED explode and 4 guards hurt 1 killed. When we arrived and were securing the area and providing CPR the second one exploded. 2 of us were hurt pretty good in that one. While we were healing in Bagram an Army Colonel presented us with the DoD freedom medal. The company I worked for was owned by the presidents brother and when we had healed up he came by our compound with a couple Afghan officers and presented us with the Afghan Freedom medal, it was a pretty neat day. Apparently our guards were from his village and they were very grateful for us getting there quickly and saving their butts. I ended up working as director of operations for that company until they closed in 2011. Here is a pic of both of them Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USAFnav Posted March 4, 2015 Share #7 Posted March 4, 2015 Here's the Joint Duty Assignment lapel pin. About the size of a dime, marked GRACO on the back. It's well-made and heavy, with a very nice high-quality catch for the back pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's well-made and heavy, with a very nice high-quality catch for the back pin. Great looking pin.Looks like the National Intelligence Meritorious unit citation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Intelligence_Meritorious_Unit_Citation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFnav Posted March 7, 2015 Share #9 Posted March 7, 2015 I've never seen the National Intelligence Meritorious Unit citation before, it sure is similar. My branch of the IC just recently received a military Joint Meritorious Unit Award citation -- the civilians were given the lapel pin which is the miniature ribbon. The award covered a period of three years; I was there for only two of those years, so I didn't qualify. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
