Nice collection. This is pretty good for starting this month. There’s tons of info on medals and lots of other items. Welcome to the forum!

Ebay can be a pain sometimes since people still over pay on things there, I was looking at some field gear sets and the prices were pretty high yet people were buying them. Also I tried to research the prices while in the store but I could not find much. I'm not really looking to resale I just prefer to get stuff as cheap as possible since I don't have a big budget, of course if I do get a good deal then I could easily make a good profit down the road if I sell the item. 

When has America won? What are the strategic or political goals now? You kill the supreme leader, there is immediately a new one, albeit not in complete condition; okay, he gets killed, then comes the next son or nephew or second cousin, and so on. As long as there are no ground operations with infantry/occupation, Iran will continue to exist in this form anyway. Or is there hope for an uprising? Oil trade is at a standstill in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the data, Iran can keep the street closed with relatively limited resources. Every week is one too many. You can bomb until you drop, but the regime stays right where it is.

Thanks for the info Matt. I forgot to check AI. I originally posted this in a Czech forum in gunboards to ask the experts there. Do you by chance have a subscription to newspapers.com?  There is an article on the vet that I cant get without it. Sol Denmark born in 1922 died in 2006. I getting much better at researching the vets. I use family search, NARA, My heritage and findagrave to find info. Thanks

I just picked up a book that has this photo in it.  I didn't find any other photos in this thread of Frank P. Lahm from when he was a Brigadier General.
