This was a great video! Helped me learn a lot. I do have one question though. Online, many sources said the WWII bronze star was given in a black presentation box with yellow text while some say it came in a plain white box, so im not sure what was the box it came in. If you do know the answer I would love to hear, but great video!

As a veteran wearing awards out of precedence should be acceptable IMHO. Because some lower medals have more meaning to me.

Is there a miniature CIB, Airborne, or Air Assault allowed? Thanks

Wearing that after retirement or separation screams, “I’m institutionalized”.

Excellent guidance and video

Are there any lapel pins for Gold Star Family ?

Please discuss wear for women veterans.

That's exactly how I wore my dad's WW2 medals on my tux to vote against fascism. The greatest generation betrayed by the worse.

I am very proud of my Navy Combat Action Ribbon. What I always regretted is that when wearing miniature medals, there is no way to wear the CAR! I hold both the Air Medal and the CAR which is pretty unique but I could never wear the CAR when I wore the Navy CPO Mess Dress Uniform.

Outstanding informative video!

You don't. Pride is not worn.

Borrow them from the Estate of Verne Troyer?

What about the freedom medal my uncle got issued by the president

Thsis is US Medals the world is a lot bigger

Thanks for this video sir great information. Ima share it with my vet buddies 🤙🏾

Interesting because in the UK we mount them all in one row as opposed to multiple rows.

Stupidity at its finest

Why did you leave off esws

Thank you, Sir. I have proudly worn my mini-medals as well as mini-ribbons to Veterans activities and dress occasions. Mixed feelings about anodized vs. bronze: I'm fairly tarnished by my military experience. 😎🫡

Fortunately, I will not need to attend another d&ps. Great advice, and thank you for your presentation.

Cloth backing of the original mounting is intriguing. It may be a nod to the Naval Aviator Greens uniform. Or, it may have originally been a of portion of a wardroom green baize tablecloth. In that case, the original mounting could have been made on ship as a farewell gift. Either way, it's a wonderful piece of personal history which you have fantastically enhanced!

Can they be worn at a wedding

Salute

In the rest of the world minature are worn in 1 row, no more than 16 centremetres wide.

Great information. Thanks!

Thank you for creating this instructional wear episode. I’ve seen many veterans wearing miniatures on civilian dress clothing incorrectly. I’ll be sure to share this widely

It's interesting that the Commonwealth it's common for veterans to wear their medals at appropriate events in civilian dress but not so much in the states. Our general rule of thumb is mini's for evening events and full size for day events.

Can you show were to put mini ribbons. Can they be worn above the pocket on a sports jacket. I don’t think mine will fit on a lapel. Great video

So how are we ladies supposed to wear them?

Great video, Sir! This is a unique topic you don't really see. I learned about the mini ribbons, and where they came from. Pretty cool info.

Sir great videos as always

Nice to see you back Colonel many thanks

Thank you for this video. I've been pretty conflicted about wearing my medals (OIF veteran). Other veterans at events I have attended wear theirs (in accordance with this standard) and its kind of encouraging to see. Again, thank you.

The anodized medals look like they're made of plastic. I prefer the bronze ones.

Wearing a set of ribbons with a unit affiliation would look pretty dapper. Maybe, a unit affiliation could be worn on the right lapel to balance out the ribbons on the left.

Excellent

WELL, this is Useless for female Veterans.

👍👍👍

Excellent video!

Well done!

AMAZING office. And those annodized are more than just a few dolalrs more. About $4. And full sized even more. My medal rack, in annodized, was about $400.

Thanks Colonel, enjoyed it. God bless, Rob, USNR 1987-1995

WooHoo! Thank you, Colonel!

Thank you, sir

Sir, you are missing a non-authorized (for Americans) para brevet in your collection. It is the brevet pré-militaire. It is for students who take a 3 week course during their vacation. 3 daylight jumps without gear, and gives you the right to wear the red beret from day one when you enlist in a parachute regiment.

I was with the 121st Inventory Recent in 1985 - 1988, also was with the 726th Maintenance BN in 1980 - 1985

At Fort Riley with the Big Red One we wore the yellow and green fourragere.

Do you know of a book of WWII naval patches? My father was in the Navy from’42- ‘45 and I have been unable to find his patches for fire control service.

I served in the A Troop 1/9 cavalry Blue infantry team search and destroy air assault reconnaissance and rescue 1970-71 do you have any patches or memorabilia? Song Be fire base Huey Do you have anything that recognizes that unit. Historically known as the buffalo soldiers with the 10th cavalry? It is a first team original and the history is essential to tell the history completely. Every morning we would ride into harms way, I’m not criticizing what you are doing and I thank I just want my brothers to be remembered too. If you need more information please reply. If you search on line the history of the 9th cavalry it tells you how the 1st team operated in Vietnam the blue team was the tip of the spear.

I've got authorization in my 201 file to wear my French Commando School badge on my uniform.
