mds308 Posted December 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 9, 2020 Found this group from the same seller. No history known. I have a bunch of questions? 1. When was this style dog tag discontinued? 2. Why was there no Good Conduct Ribbon? Assuming he never messed up. 3. Where these ribbons made in Asia? Philippines? I found these together but I realize that doesn't mean they belong together. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mds308 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted December 9, 2020 One more question. What is the ribbon on the lowest left bar with applied anchor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclegrumpy Posted December 9, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 9, 2020 The ribbon with the anchor is the Vietnamese Navy Gallantry Cross. The most likely reason for no Good Conduct medal ribbon is he was an officer his entire career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mds308 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted December 9, 2020 Thanks unclegrumpy. I just found out, thanks to aznation, he retired as a USN Commander. He served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Unfortunately, he died in 1985. He was only 63 years old. The ribbons definitely belonged to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeclown Posted December 9, 2020 Share #6 Posted December 9, 2020 I may be wrong but it seems like he served in the navy reserve and Merchant Marine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reforger Posted December 10, 2020 Share #7 Posted December 10, 2020 The dog tag is from the Korean War period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
