Just the few posted are incredible. The Volkswagon is great as is the shaved head dude with 03. Assuming it says Idaho on tank? But is that a potato or peanut? And the DD is very interesting to see too!

The 97th Infantry Division is one of two that served in both the EAME and the AP theaters. The other is the 87th.

Villatobas Air Station, Spain. 4 inch (vertical).

I’ve seen a few like this as well as owned a bar done by Studley.  Considering the front of the medal is the standard US Navy design and the back is the US Marine Corps design. It is classified as a mule. 

Studley did not manufacture the medals. If memory serves correctly, this one was manufactured by northern stamping co? Studley purchased from them and other companies in quantity and then re-sold to veterans. Offering services to replace lost medals or engrave them additional to creating ribbon bars, and mounting medals.

I came across this Ike today. No laundry marks or ASN. What I find confusing are the patches and ribbons. The right sleeve has an Eight Army patch and the left sleeve has a 97th Division patch. The ribbon bar and unit patches reflects service in both the ETO and the PTO. Is anyone familiar with any units that would help make sense this jacket?

Thanks Bill!   Do you know anything more about Sgt Keeler? 

Thanks!! I tried looking for it, but it wasn't there. 

The guys with shovels are removing horse crap off the road. One good thing with the Germans gone is fewer horses.

"Use an enamel, vs lacquer.  Semigloss." Got it, thanks.
