Military_Curator Posted August 31, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2020 Hey all, Whats better than the medals, ribbons, uniforms, and field gear we all love to collect? The men and woman who earned, wore, and used them! I partnered with a local museum to interview local veterans and I thought I'd make a thread for them all to share them with you all in one place. (Not sure if this is allowed so if this is in violation, feel free to remove) Here is the trailer for the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military_Curator Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted August 31, 2020 Duane Trowbridge was one of my favorite vets to interview. He was in the Marines during Korea and participated in Inchon, Seoul, and Chosin. Duane was also a double awardee of the Purple Heart (shrapnel in the knee at Seoul and in 1951 was shot in the head by a sniper). Rest in Peace Duane.
