Skill-arm of servicde badges, maybe, albeit a bit pretentious.
Campaign medals and or actual decorations: never, they are in respect of operations where people were killed and wounded and must never be traduced by being worn as mere ornaments.

Not to be picky, but he actually suggested using the Purple Hearts so they wouldn't have to pay for drinks at the cash bar, but your point is taken. And I think that was put in to show just how low those two would go in the crashing.

I met with Alexis and her husband. They work with a local jeweler and they do fantastic stuff. I would have no problem with them on anything.

Military kilt pin
Joe,
I used a loc-tite quick set epoxy.Iit is in a double syringe system
sets up fast so be careful. certainy strong, and drys clear
to correct an error in my post The sword was a necklace from spencer. you can see the hole in the top of the handle. I am working on my soldering skills so i may try that on the next one. you may be better off staying with epoxy I worry that the solder heat may effect the blue background on your CIB.
Congratulations on the award, wear it with pride....

Thanks for the information and the idea.
I figured that solder wouldn't work with the blue enamel.
I was looking for a kilt pin to go with Blackwatch kilt I ordered.
This should look pretty good with it.
I earned the C.I.B. in Vietnam with the 1st Cav.

I was in the 2nd/12th
which I think in gone now,when the 1st Cav reorganized to include more armor
The CAV is a good unit with a long history and a lot of battle streamers
A young man that is like a son to me was with The 4th Inf. at the begining of the Iraq,war none of it is easy duty. Glad you're back from Iraq and thank you for your service. Hope I can buy you a beer someday

I Have an antique EGA (Eagle Globe Anchor) that I filled in the back with Locktight and Was planning ou Using as a Kilt Pin Some day. I was thinking about Taking My Bear Kilt off to the seamstress to get a "button hole" put on, for those Jar heads out there, the way they do Buttons on the dress blues. the Little hole that you put your button through and then the clasp on the back.
