Mmmmmm...as I recall (I'm an old guy) 2 bronze stars w/V, 2 Army accomidation metals, 4 air medals,, a few of unit citations, good conduct (don't know why) purple heart, jumpwings with bronze star (combat jumps), Vietnamese jumpwings....a couple of vietnamese metals of some sort, but the only one that counts is the CIB, combat infantry badge.

One thing is for sure. The Marines hate giving medals out, I mean you could capture Bin Laden, Save 100kids and Disable a nuke(all in one hour) and they would be like "Bronze Star"

But hey, it means something when you recieve one of those.

When did you serve in Bosnia?
I was there in 99.
Please introduce yourself in the Welcoming center...

i was actually in bosnia just last year, we also have word we may be going to Aphganistan if the Canadian government decides to increase our troop support there. I've only been soldiering for about hmmm. almost 4 years so i dont exactly have a lot of experience under my belt like some of you boys, plus for my first year i was in a reserve unit.
