Very nice medal, thank you for remembering the sacrifice of this young man. I cannot explain why someone would do that to the medal. Condition has never  bothered me as the medal still serves its purpose.
 

I have a BSM and PH to a man who was a sergeant and radio operator in C Company, 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry, 1st Infantry division. He was KIA during operation Muskegon on June 1st, 1966. Always have loved the look of the black lions insignia! Vincit amor patriae!
