37thguy Posted March 17, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 17, 2010 I've been collecting these for around 30 years so far and here's what I have. Always fun to find one I don't already have, although that's getting harder and harder these days. Let's see yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyp99 Posted March 18, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 18, 2010 Here are two I have that are Yankee Division related. First is from the 104th Infantry association from 1939 and second is from the Yankee Division Vets association from 1935 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37thguy Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted March 18, 2010 Love the 104th pin on the chain. That's cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37thguy Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted March 18, 2010 Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted March 18, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 18, 2010 Anyone else? Not a pin but a reunion challenge coin from the 507 Parachute Infantry Regiment reunion in France that was given to me by the retired Colonel veteran who was a Captain at the time of the D-Day Invasion jump. The other side. This was used when the 507 PIR monument shown above on the coin was dedicated in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Posted March 20, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 20, 2010 Wish I did! I was lucky to find that one. It was found several months ago at an Antique Shop just right around the corner from me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmilligan Posted March 25, 2010 Share #9 Posted March 25, 2010 Here you are. 27th Division Association, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmilligan Posted March 25, 2010 Share #10 Posted March 25, 2010 The 27th DA didn't hold annual reunions until fairly recently (even though they called them annual). Very recent reunions didn't have ribbons. I hope to change that... Most of these are my personal ones, some are from the Division Association archives. I've been meaning to organize them, thanks for the push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted March 25, 2010 Share #13 Posted March 25, 2010 Not a Division nor a pin ..... but a Cavalry Battalion & Cavalry Regiment Ribbon There weren't any Divisions fighting the indian wars on the plains during the Civil War. Brackett's Battalion Minnesota Volunteer Cavalry (1861-1866) & the 5th Iowa Volunteer Cavalry Reunion These troopers served on the Plains & also with the Northwest Indian Expedition, General Alfred Sully commanding.

37thguy Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share #14 Posted March 26, 2010 WOW, more great pieces. Super 27th group! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmilligan Posted March 26, 2010 Share #15 Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks. Funny thing, I store/display them in a very similar box to yours complete with almost identical style printed info card. Great minds, eh? I really like the 29th pin everforward posted. I think the WWI guys had the best stuff. Wasn't as gaudy as the GAR badges, but classy, with a lot of unit pride. Good thread!
