A few US awards - Slowly completing the set

[MAP]

Picked a few more awards the last two weeks. A few were gifts, a few others I got off of eBay and two are post war (1980's issue).







But getting closer and closer to my goal of getting one of each of the "most common" WW2 US awards (Valor, campaign, good conduct/service awards)

Still to get are

Good Conduct Coast Guard
Navy/Marine Corp Medal
Occupation Medal Army
Occupation Medal Navy
Distinguished Service Medal Army
Distinguished Service Medal Navy

[Tank Destroyer]

Michael that’s a “full Monty”. Great looking collection, boy when you dive in, you go straight to the high dive.

LoL...yes. I'm a bit fixated on goals. And to think I only really started recently. I wanted to complete the set by the end of 2019 but three of the remaining awards are pricy and hard to find.

Also, some of the above are "boxed" examples. I really want to get one example of each "loose" so I can put them in a frame and hang on the wall. Don't want empty boxes laying around that over time will get lost. So in reality, I need to get around a dozen more before I can frame the set.

Sweet new ones. I like them all but the Berlin Airlift is one that’s not seen very often.

Thanks Marty. Those last 4 will be tough to get and a couple of them approach 3rd Reich prices LoL

Totally forgot about the Berlin Airlift award until I saw a kind gent we know on another forum post one. He knew I'm building out my collection so he offered this one to me.
