They include the cased purple heart with certificate, Vietnam medals with citations, The bronze star cased with certificate. Military Merit medal cased with certificate,his Antarctic medal with documents and photo, Vietnam River patrol certificate with badge,Navel good conduct medal with certificate,Armed forces Expeditionary service medal and two National defense medals. This is a wonderful RARE collection awarded to the one serviceman. Excellent citations I think. Any ideas on current value appreciated as will likely I sell as not my collecting area.

Dave Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This is a great group, I really like it. I'd still go with my initial estimate on it of around $500-$600, depending on the buyer. Hope that helps!Dave Only a weak society needs government protection or intervention before it pursues its resolve to preserve the truth.
