Just snagged this on eBay missed his squadron one patch and his PI belt buckle . But happy to get named squadron one Vietnam uscg group and named 80s medal . no research yet . Not finding much . Any coast guard sites I could find info ?

Well, you can request the Cold War Certificate which is recognition and you should have received the National Defense Service Medal which is also recognition for your service outside of the war zone. As you know, the military moves slow, but recognition was and is available.   Scott

Interesting that he was in 3 different units in one month. Is that possible?

I'm new to the site. I'M appalled at the slow recognition of the cold war vet. WE trained and trained others for the eventually of a war that never occurred. We were injured and poisoned in the line of duty. Do we have to wait for 50 years to receive recognition??? I was in Germany when we went to Grenada.  I was a Drill Sergeant during JUST CAUSE and thec1st Gulf War. It's not my fault I didn't go to war. I trained the one who eventually did go and fight. WE SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED FOR ALL THAT HAS OCCURRED

This was the insignia after 1955. The previous insignia is this one

Looks like early use of the M1903A3 rifle.  You can see the flat stamped bands and the 2 piece bands near the front sights. Handguards are too long for the M1903 rear sight. cool pix.

Hello everyone,   After years of half-assedly searching, I finally found a nice marine officer dress blue jacket.  I lucked into it at the Greely gun show earlier today for a pretty good price even tho it’s missing all of its insignia. I’m especially not looking forwad to paying for replacement EGAs, but I got to do it. I did a preliminary search online for the original owner, but couldn’t find anything other than an entry on Ancestry (couldn’t view it because I don’t have a subscription).  I’m hoping some of you charitable research experts might be able to give me a hand…. I ran the name tag through a couple photo filters to sharpen the printed text. Looks like 6/16/1942 with the name of Lieutenant R R Juby. Interesting last name no doubt.   

The flintlock is Turkish.
