Roughly 4500 for three medals. 

"There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with."   Admiral William Halsey

First, I believe the issue with the Bronze Star/Silver Star  was covered in these pages several years ago. A topic search may turn up that posting.   Second, sometime after he returned home from overseas, Audie Murphy gave away all of his original medals to his nephews. Where they are today is anyone's guess. It is belileved he later requested replacement medals to wear due to his enhanced celebrity status.  There is no way to tell if any of these replacement medals are among those in various Murphy displays. More ethan likely, the pieces in these displays are "representatives" of his original awards.   Third, medals presented to a living recipient overseas during and after WWII were not engraved. It is highly likely that the medals Murphy gave away to his relatives were unengraved. It is also highly likely that any replacement medals he received would have been engraved, but the style is not known.   I believe the issue of his replacement medals was covered in the book, No Name on the Bullet.   Hope this helps.  

FYI...I Like all of these.   Romans 13:7 “Give to everyone what you owe them... if honor, then honor.”

That is stunning!

That’s pretty cool! 

Oh, and don't forget that in that particular muster roll from July 1944 it showed Albert was not only in the Third Battalion, Eleventh Marines, First Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force, but that he was in Battery "H" as a Forward Observer.  The H stood for Howitzer, specifically the 105mm Howitzer.

I came into possession of this flag. I have no idea who it belonged to nor its exact age. I am looking to find out more about it such as approximate age. There are no maker markings on the flag, header or grommets. Thanks for whatever information you may have for me.

I SEE BY YOUR LOCATION YOU ARE A CHEETOS FAN. I LOVE CHEETOS. QUICK STORY, I GREW UP IN HOUSTON AND AT THAT TIME THE "FRITO COMPANY" WAS BASED IN HOUSTON. THEY ONLY MADE FRITOS(THE SMALL ORIGINAL KIND & CHEETOS). LATER THEY MOVED THEIR HEADQUARTERS TO DALLAS, YEARS LATER THEY MERGED  WITH THE "LAYS POTATO CHIP COMPANY" AND BECAME THE "FRITO-LAY COMPANY". I WAS BORN IN 1947 AND HAVE BEEN EATING & LOVING CHEETOS SINCE I WAS 3 YRS. OLD. TOP THAT(:-)LOL!!!
