Wow! It's really amazing how you are able to gather all those medals and insignia including all those facts about them. The book is really a treasure. I'm sure a lot of soldiers and even non-military will delight in having this book. Great work and kudos to the staff!

I enjoyed your presentation very much. I was happy to see the 14th Artillery crest as I wear one on my cap most every day.
My Unit - 196 Light Infantry Brigade, Americal Division.
Nice informative video!👍👍👍If I recall correctly, 2/14th F.A. was under the 72nd Field Artillery and was stationed at Warner Barracks in Bamberg Germany. I was across the post at 3/1 Field Artillery.
2/14th was in Fureth at Monteith barracks (155)...great assignment
❤❤p🎉
Served in the 196th in 70, wasn't awarded a good conduct medal, fireguard ribbon vietnam service, Arcom, air medal 2 bronze stars and a CIB. Derosed as an E5. I don't think the good conduct award was automatic. I could be wrong but I don't recall anyone in my unit getting one.
Awesome channel keep up the amazing work
My great gpa was in americal 23rd div phillipines ww2 👍
Before it was Americal Division it was Task Force Oregon 1966 - 1967
My Dad was in WW2
They left off my Good Conduct Medal on my DD-214. Bastards.
I have a question if a relative mine served his WWII postwar occupation in Guam I definitely don’t put the Japan bar on the ribbon/medal right. I know it may be a stupid question just wanted to be sure
You are correct, no japan bar..only stupid question is the one not ask. thanks for watching.

TOMAHAWK,!
Wasn’t the Americal Division behind the My Lai massacre? Then why would anyone want to celebrate this Division? It’s a fair question.
A small group out of a fine division.
The My Lai massacre was done by the 1/20. A unit of a large Division. There were many other units that served bravely and honorably. I served with the 4/3 and they were an excellent battalion as were many others in the Americal. As my grandpa said ya don’t throw away the whole bushel because of one bad apple.
I was in the Americal division and involved in the raid at chu-lai vietnam 1970 I was not at my-lai.
