I am a retired veteran Cpl E4 and served on okinawa in 1959. I was over there for 16 months and is there any awards for that service?

Any service member current, former, retired, etc., can inquire to Marine Corps documents on line to read up on service decorations, badges, medals, etc. (salad dressing). You will want to have your DD-214 available to determine your eligibility for post-service benefits. If you cannot locate your DD-214, a copy can be requested from the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO. If you retired a CPL E4, you have either a medical discharge (which may come with some benefits) or, you have suffered some let's say, other-than-honorable service. In any case, The DD-214 is your go-to document that establishes not only awards and decorations but characterization of service, etc. Good-luck.

Regarding ribbon devices signifying additional awards -- what's the difference between stars and oak leaf clusters? Are the latter for Army and the former for Navy and Marines??

@Edb4paxUSMC 7 ай бұрын

Each branch can have their separate devices. Here's a good place to start: media.defense.gov/2023/Apr/24/2003206071/-1/-1/1/RIBBONS%20AND%20DEVICES.PDF

Hey Frank are there any other medallions of Honor that go back farther in the 1700s as I have one that is an ounce in size but not even edged like you know they made it by hand it's kind of like a hand chiseled stars and eagle on it you can barely read what it says on one side the dates missing but you can make out I believe it says honor truth the next words hard to make out but there's no joints on the outer edge it doesn't look like anything used to be on the outer edge it kind of looks like a 16th century early American Roman coin made out of copper with American eagle cartoonish on the back almost because it's so handmade like chiseled and the stars as well on the front where would I look this up

Why are Purple Hearts so significantly more expensive than other medals? Also I enjoy the videos

@TheHolyFurryEmpire 2 жыл бұрын

Well because they are like one of the first war medals ever made

@@TheHolyFurryEmpire I don’t know it just seems like a lot a family’s veteran spills blood or dies for their country and unless you wait a year for the government to replace it you have to pay 50 dollars for something they should never worry about again
