Larry F. Posted October 29, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 29, 2017 My great uncle gave me his Ike a several years ago. I really need to take better pictures of it, but these will do for now. He's still living and full of fire! NOTE: His ETO ribbon was missing one battle star so I replaced it for a total of three. The below pics only show two stars.

sundance Posted October 30, 2017 Share #6 Posted October 30, 2017 Great jacket. I hope it gets passed down to family members along with the story of this member of the greatest generation. With that said I hope you'll get that story reduced to writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timberwolf Posted October 31, 2017 Share #10 Posted October 31, 2017 Very nice! Awesome that your uncles is still with us! What unit within the 2nd ID did he serve with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohn#3RD Posted June 18, 2018 Share #11 Posted June 18, 2018 You should get a set of collar discs for the uniform. Most importantly get his story down, whether you do it or a person from a history department of a local college because after he passes to the other side his story will be lost. It would be interesting getting his perspective about supporting 2nd ID or other combat units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottG Posted June 19, 2018 Share #14 Posted June 19, 2018 Very nice. Love how he even added service coat buttons! Pretty sure its a cut down 4 pocket. Very cool, and I think the dui's are for a transportation unit. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
