That's what I said.

Lol. At least I don't plan on staying any longer than that. Who knows though.

 

[Grand Vol]

Lol. At least I don't force staying any longer than that. Who knows though.

It's a tough decision once you get to that time. Not one I look back on and regret though.

does anybody else have picture of your parents or your medals? I do like looking at the service members accomplishments

BUMP, trying again.

 

[Sin City Vol]

I look forward to the day I retire from the Army.

I just retired from the Air Force and I Love It!!!! Been back on base once since I left and stayed about 30 minutes and left. I love the Air Force but sometimes in life a change can be good.

Went to an auction over the weekend and bought this. Sorry the pic is sideways.

Top Left- triangle patch
This is a US World War Two patch. As issued to personnel of the Army Air Corps who were trained mechanics. The patch was worn on the sleeve and indicated the type of work the person executed.

Top right- US Army Air Corp patch (pre 1947)

Bottom Left- WWI trench art from the Battle of Verdun. Engraved 1914-1919 Verdun. Made from a bullet.

Center- ? Hard to research, but it could be gold. It's a tie-tack. Could be a Major's tie tack.

Center Right- WWI The Allied Victory Ribbon w/3 stars signifies 3 different campaigns.

Bottom Right- (it's upside down) The golden eagle was the ruptured duck, . it was a slang term for the Honorable Service Lapel Pin given American military service members who were discharged under honorable conditions during WWII. The pin, which depicted an eagle inside a wreath, served as proof to military police that its wearer was not going absent without leave.

I think he was 101 Airborne "Screaming Eagles"?

I know he was in Vietnam and sure he was there in the 60s. I don't know exactly when.

Any other branch and he'd be a woman.
