Medal and Ribbons Task Force Ripper

[Trucrimsongold]

I have considered getting an updated copy of my DD214 Since I was told by my command there were like three or four awards up in the air that were still unknown in 91. Im making a shadow box for my daughter to have one day and I want to make sure anything tht has changed since 1991 is put in it. Anyone in Task Force Ripper or Grizzly know if we ever rated the Marine Corps expeditionary medal or anything else?

I think there is a link around here with that info on it; fill out your profile and I might help you find it. Semper Fi

Killer..... you met our expectations when you graduated boot camp. As for the awards for TF Ripper, sorry I can't help you there but I am sure there is someone on the site that would be more than helpful with that. Welcome brother

Thanks gunny. I almost forgot to mention in my profile I loved Va Beach also. Spent plenty of time prior to the military going there as well even before I was at NOB. Those ODU Gals were a great deal of fun for me and my crew.

Most of task force Ripper got a CAR, SSDR, SWASM x 2, Kuati liberation medal, I think it was 93 that we got the KLMK for the same action. Hope that helps. There was no expeditionary medal awarded that I know of.

That does help. I was just wondering if it was worth the trouble to get another DD214 just in case, but since I got out in 91 and fully in 95 during that time frame something might have went through other than the Kuwaiti Liberation Medal from Kuwait vs the one we got from Saudi. thanks again.

There is a link to the webiste on one of the stickies, it will let you look for your unit awards by unit, and it's up to date.
