Review topics: [].
"I wear this hat when attending veteran functions and on military holidays. The Vietnam Service Medal is so common, but unless deployed very early, the Armed Forces Expeditionary medal was not awarded. I hit the ground in February 1963 when assigned to Advisory Team 77, in Trung Lap. At the time it was a Ranger Training Center."
"It’s a very good product"
"I like the way it fits my hat. It's perfect. Crisp in the details. Thank you!"
"Company is a class act !"
"Excellent choice and worked great on my small shadow box..."
