November 6, 20169 yr Author #4 Thanks guys. I was thinking the R/W/B was ROTC or patriotic one.The Blue & Silver remind me of MI colors.I also have another one shown in the last pic, that is red, white, & black, in a GEMSCO bag
November 6, 20169 yr #5 The 4th one down is the French Croix de Guerre. The 6th one down is the Belgian Croix de Guerre. The 7th one down is the French Medal Militaire. All these were awarded to American units in WW1 and/or WW2. I have heard somewhere that the red, white & black has been attributed to the Royal Canadian Air Force in a forum thread but I've also heard it had something to do with the U.S. Berlin Brigade and US troops on occupation duty in Germany. There's a "Shoulder Cords" thread here on the forum that delves into them that might help!
