When he was a Major, Fenili was a Technical Advisor in the 1951 Movie The Tanks are Coming.

 

Can't find photo of him so far.

Theodore H. Andrews, here's a real nice one, tailor made, the CIB made on the very same material as the shirt, no doubt made in South Korea.

Andrews as a Lieutenant Colonel was one time Commander of the 3rd Battalion 143rd Infantry 36th Infantry Division.

Lt Gen Charles G. Dodge, his totally custom made OG Wool Shirt, made from scratch with the material, it's not a modification of the issue OG Wool Shirt.
