With all the talk about the P-38 and after I dug mine out the other day, got to take a close look at it this morning. Noticed it was marked:

Are your P-38's marked with the same...

Reading posts about the P-38. I also had one, made me curious so I went out to the garage and dug up a old key chain and there she was. Had to tape the blade closed cause it was opening in my pocket...

Sittin in the garage and over the radio came "Homeward Bound" by S&G.
Anyone remember Armed Forces Radio and how that song was played over and over ? Guess they thought it was good for troop moral,...

Every once in a while, been posting a picture of a time long ago. Want it to be for VNV by a VNV. Doing that by posting in My Profile under "night Flight".... Welcome to my memories !

Sgt Leprechaun,
You are right, I didn't see that. It's good to know, thanks for the info. Puts it to rest for me !

I realize it's individually awarded, it's just the criteria that confuses me. The way it reads is "To be awarded the Combat Action Ribbon, the individual must have rendered satisfactory performance...

This is just my opinion, but the Marine Corp dropped the ball on this one !
Weather you are in a artillery unit or a cook or in supply and you spent the night dodging rocket or mortar fire, that's...

Don't think ribbons or medals show honor. Everyone who stood in the yellow footprints and put on the uniform showed "Honor". Think that ribbons and such just tell a story...IMO

You Earned The Title "MARINE" upon Graduation From Recruit Training. It Wasn't Willed To You, It Isn't A Gift. It Is Not A Government Subsidy. Few Can Claim The Title, No One May Take It Away. It Is...

Am a bit surprised at some the reaction to the CAR. "If" a Marine/Navy rated that ribbon, you would think it would be one of his "most cherished". Don't want to get into a debate about ribbons in...

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,...

Doc,
Will check out the VA site, I know Ed ment well but my head started to hurt ! My thanks to you both....All I needed was for the ribbon section of my DD 214 to be updated, the VA site can get...

How would I go about having my DD 214 updated with regards to ribbons and awards, specifically the CAR. I need it for the local VFW, my service was long ago. What is a DD 215 ? Have heard something...

iamcloudlander,

Exactly what I am looking for. Fill me in on the particulars. Again it's for the Green Blouse, see pic....

Just dug out my uniform (winter greens) from 42 years ago. NO. IT DON'T FIT ! Noticed that the belt buckle for my blouse is missing, driving me up the wall.
Asking if any you old JarHeads still have...

Merry Christmas Everyone...

He lost his head in that crash. Bad way to go ! I still catch Hoss and Little Joe once in a while. That "was" a long time ago...

Wondered if anyone caught that. We use to get movies every now and then, while out in the field. We would prop up an old piece of plywood and show it on that. Anyone care to guess what it would be ?...
