airborne1968 Posted June 29, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 29, 2016 I recently picked up this grouping in NC. It came direct from the spouse and is for a USAF officer who was the PA on the Presidential Medical Team for President Reagan and Vice President Bush. His service began in the 1950s and ended in the 1990s! He is a Vietnam vet who earned a BSM and was a member of the medical team recovery team during the Gemini Space program as well. The group is very interested, complete, and includes: his entire enlisted 201 file, all of his PCS and award orders and certificates, several uniforms, complete ribbon rack, Presidential Service Badge and orders, Space program certificates, Executive trip planning docs and participation certificates, photos, White House gifts, Air Force One memorabilia, insignia, and MORE!! I'm going to need some more Ryker boards to display this amazing grouping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY Militaria Posted June 29, 2016 Share #15 Posted June 29, 2016 Looks like there is a lot of interesting material in that group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne1968 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share #16 Posted June 29, 2016 His grouping also included the laminated named boarding passes for Air Force One, about a dozen letters from the White House to his civilian residence, and planning and operational documents relating to several of the presidential trips. He was part of the planning for the Gulf War Victory Parade and kept the entire planning order for that event. He was quite a pack rat when it came to his papers, school docs, orders, and evaluations. Some of the interesting WH gift items have good value and are collectible outside the military aspect of the grouping. Can anyone tell me more about the large gold/bronze presidential coin/medallion with the eagle on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted June 29, 2016 Share #17 Posted June 29, 2016 That is an amazing grouping. Whats on the back of the medal and anyway we can get a close up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoon Posted June 30, 2016 Share #18 Posted June 30, 2016 Very nice. We have a family friend that has all sorts of WH/AF1 stuff at their home. China, silverware, linens, you name it. Of course, it was all stolen from supply...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItemCo16527 Posted July 2, 2016 Share #19 Posted July 2, 2016 This has to be one of the top two or three groupings I've ever seen. Absolutely mind-blowing! As someone who grew up obsessed with the space program, I have to say the Project Gemini Launch Site Recover Team license plate is my favorite piece (the other stuff is beyond amazing, don't get me wrong lol). I could only dream of having a grouping like this. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne1968 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share #20 Posted July 2, 2016 Looking at his participation certificates it appears Gwinn was part of Gemini 7, 9a, 11, and 12! Although he was assigned to the unit I'm not sure if he participated on any of the other numbered missions (ie. 8, 10). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
