Thanks fellas! Yes Phil I am Marine Artillery!
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.
