listening to u right now on the radio, frontlines for freedom. My dad was in Navy, WWII, Hubby Viet Nam, '69-'70, son Army Airborne, Iraq. 2006-2011-- God Bless You!!
My friend's father served and she has 11 of his medals. I've been trying to find what each represents and tain't easy! Out of 11, I have found 4. He was in WWII Air Force.
I served in the Air Force just after Nam. Had a full Bird Col that wore an Annapolis ring. I asked if he served in the Navy 1st. " kind of, during my last year in the Academy we were told that the new branch ( meaning A.F. ) needed officers, 50 that year. So I entered the Naval Academy and became an Air Force Officer..."
Was in the Army and earned the meritorious unit award. In the Air Force, would it be worn grouped with all the other ribbons? In the Army, the unit awards are worn on the other side.
Yes, my new videos cover that but you are correct. I need to go back and update the Air Force Video. Since my entire production team consist of me, myself and I ...we duz fall behind!
I've found Medals of America to be a generally reliable and accurate reference and material source for over 30 years. I have, however, run into a fairly uncommon problem in ordering proper displays and in on line material accuracy. The first incidence was 25 years back, my brother wanted to build a shadow box to place under my portrait. I sent him a list of my authorized medals and ribbons. He was "informed" by the representative he spoke with that it was not possible to have a Southwest Asia Service medal without a Kuwait Liberation medal. Incorrect. Eligibility for the former extended some time after eligibility for the latter ended. I see uncommon but persistent errors in award of stars on certain ribbons/medals. For example, the Armed Forces Expeditionary medal is indeed awarded WITHOUT a bronze star initially. I don't know about the other services, but the Air Force views each star as a subsequent award. There are campaign awards that don't go by this standard, but it is not the general rule. I have two awards of this medal and properly wear it with one bronze star. At 11.44, the video shows the Meritorious Service medal with two oak leaf clusters and states this indicates it was awarded two times. The ribbon with two clusters actually indicates three awards. In most cases this is a minor point, I have always received great service from Medals of America and expect to receive that great service in the future. Air Force manual 36-2806 lists proper wear guidance. Keep up the great work! One rack you made for me got me through an NCO Academy inspection and THAT is meeting extremely minute criteria!
Is there a portal we can view our “rack” the way we could while on active duty, as a veteran? Is that located on any of our various online account portals?
@@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376 thank you so much . Does your book include badges and what occupations are authorized to wear them? My grandpa was a 30770 Telecommunications systems control technician and I am trying to figure what badge he would have worn?
@@Aaron15cool I was also a "Tech Controller" (AFSC 307x0) we did not have a badge as of 1982, when I left the Air Force. In past conversations with some of my fellow "Water Walkers" on Facebook, they did eventually assign one to the specialty (in 1983, I believe,) but it changed as the AFSC numbering and nomeclature changed over the years until the specialty was retired. Unfortunately, I cannot recall which badges went with which AFSC. So I guess that the short answer is that if he got out/retired prior to 1983, there is no badge for our AFSC.
Some are WW II and some are recent strikes under our hallmark using dies and hubs furnished by the Institue of Heraldry. All are official and made to the original specification including the ribbon.
I have had several ribbon racks made my MOA, they are excellent. Sadly in my opinion the Air Force has abused and degraded the importance of the Bronze Star. E9's and Field Grade Officers return from the AOR and are awarded the Bronze Star.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'll be looking for your book.
Was in the Army and earned the meritorious unit award. In the Air Force, would it be worn grouped with all the other ribbons? In the Army, the unit awards are worn on the other side.
FYI: the DoD no longer awards the National Defense Service Medal nor the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.
Yes, my new videos cover that but you are correct. I need to go back and update the Air Force Video. Since my entire production team consist of me, myself and I ...we duz fall behind!
Fantastic video, a plethora of information.

I think you can go to Medals of America website and build your rack online.
Can you do a video Of the civil air patrol It's the United States Air Force auxiliary Branch
why can't i find certain ribbons?
I spent 9 days short of a year in Nam 66-67. I had never heard about the long and short term medal before. Are Viet Nam Vets entitled???
Good info so my uniform looks right and does not draw any scrutiny when I go get my free Denny's grand slam
I attempting to create a military display box for my grandpa who served from 55’-75’ does anyone have any idea what AOCCMDL stands for ?
It is a slightly different abbreviation for the army of occupation medal which normally would be abbreviated as AOM.

When did the US switch from .. and BAR to Oak Clusters to denote duplicate awards?
Really WW I was the last time bars were used for campaigns on medals except for a few WW2 medals such as the WW2 Occupation medals.
@@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376 Thanks. : )
Are these WW2 medals you collect replica or copy edition? Are they all made in the'40s and'50s?
Some are WW II and some are recent strikes under our hallmark using dies and hubs furnished by the Institue of Heraldry. All are official and made to the original specification including the ribbon.
