The Medals & Ribbons Section

Many of us Currahees or our families are unsure of which military medals were awarded  us during our service and or especially during the Vietnam War.  With renewed interest in wearing and displaying our decorations, medals, ribbons, badges and insignia to honor patriotic service for family pride and for passing down to our children and grand children, the Currahee PX has added these military service items for former members to replace lost items, or obtain a second set of his awards and decorations for display or gifts to family members.   As time permit, more items associated with one's military service will be added.  If you see an item not list, please contact Jerry Berry at jerryberry@currahee.org to have it added.  Display cases in various sizes will be available soon.  If you have any questions concerning your decorations and service metals, ribbons, badges and insignia, contact Jerry Berry.
