This is my Honorable Order of Saint Barbra. It’s not authorized for wear in uniform (except on St Barbra’s Day celebration) but a prestigious award amongst the Artillery community.

PS. I will post my regular medals when I get them back. They are currently being mounted. Thanks!

Very interesting to see. One of my recent previous bosses had this, but I had only seen the certificate, never saw the medal. Thanks for sharing

Funny, I know where all the medals in my collection are... but for my own I'd have to dig around to find where I stashed them!

Ok, not medals but if you gents will allow me some latitude. This is hanging above me as I type. It's from my soldiers and more valuable to me now than any medals. I said I'd have to mount a search to dig up my medals but with this hanging right over me as I use the laptop it would be the height of laziness...

I have my name tag, rank, unit, 20 year long service award
and qualification patches. But all are from the motorcycle
club I rode with.

Here they are. Just got them back today
