Uniform question for those in the know - the write up stated this: ‘ 11 Bronze Stars - several with the combat “V” device’ for Master Sargent Wheeler.
My question: While I know a Bronze with V has a specific device on it and multiple awards typically use stars in lieu of additional awards. How would one differentiate some bronze star award with a V, from those without a V. So say 7 of his 11 were with V, and 4 were without. How would you display that?
Not a lot of people know just how early we were in there after the cheese eating surrender simians.
Viet Nam was a big part of my youth up to college, I was born in 1957 but did not realize it had been a part of it that early on 1955-1975 - kind of a surprise.
Ike and De Gaulle warned JFK about getting involved with our military in Viet Nam. He listened to the CIA, and he got us involved heavily. That may have cost him his life.
JFK apparently had/allowed the CIA to kill the president of S. Viet Nam, Diem. Diem was killed!
A few weeks later in another rule 39 of Gibbs, afterDiem was overthrown and killed. Kennedy was assassinated three weeks later. “There are no coincidences!”
The link below is an excellent history of how JFK allowed the CIA and his military to go to war in Viet Nam!:
www.historylearningsite.co.uk/vietnam-war/john-f-kennedy-and-vietnam/
“Kennedy became convinced that Diem could never unite South Vietnam and he agreed that the CIA should initiate a programme to overthrow him. A CIA operative, Lucien Conein, provided some South Vietnamese generals with $40,000 to overthrow Diem with the added guarantee that the US would not protect the South Vietnam leader. Diem was overthrown and killed in November 1963. Kennedy was assassinated three weeks later.”
By the way, this hero was a REAL Cherokee:
