Question regarding the CAR

[crasha51pan]

The ribbon came into existance in 1969 but was made retro to 61, I believe. How does a person go about finding out if they rate that ribbon ? My tour was 66/67, I have been shot at and returned fire, who would I contact to get that info ?

Thanks....Semper Fi !

While still in, I warrented it. Now, my DD214 doesn't list it. It's true, I never deserved it, but why was it authorized back then?

You need to get an update, to a DD215.

The CAR is just another ribbon ... you aint special if you have one. I could easily throw away all ribbons badges medals etc. The only one that is important to me is the National Defense Service Medal. There are members on this forum that have awarded themselves a CAR so go ahead.

I was looking at cars the other day. Dang if them new mercedes aint expensive.

Bob,,,,, You friggin know I could never do that,,,,, Nor could you,,,,,,,, I am what I am. I tried hard for that damm ribbon, but never got there. I'm just glad to call you friend.

Sparkie I hope you didn't think that post of mine was pointed at you. We both know what each other has been through. It is hard to do a internet point for sure.

[sparkie]

Bob, didn't take it that way,,,,,, But if there are fake Cars 'round here,,,, I got some faces to spit in,,,,,,,,,,,
You know what I mean, Bob,,,,,,, Too much blood under the bridge for that ****........

Well said Sgt. My National Defense Medal is the most important to me as well. To me that medal stands as a Symbol for all of those who served there country in a time of war. Granted unfortunatly there are some that never served during declared war, or were in actual combat during Peace Time that never got one. Most relavent example from the mid 1970's to 1991 I believe when the Cold War(Yes the I know the Cold War started way before the mid 1970's) , Beruit, Grenada, etc was going on. But that is a different topic. Granted Im proud of My Global War on Terror Service Medal as well, but I only got two medals and a shooting badge. I really aint worried about it though.
