I put in 27 years, and I never heard of the Golden Spurs. I am glad, though, to welcome Greg to the brotherhood of the CIB.

While this is not Greg's presentation ceremony, it is the closest I can come to more info on the Gold Combat Spurs.


U.S. Army Col. Mike Murray, commander, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, awards gold spurs to Spokane, Wash. native Staff Sgt. Chris Haag of the Scout Platoon, Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 161st Infantry Regiment, as the Combat Order of the Spur is read during an awards ceremony held at Camp Prosperity in Baghdad, Iraq, Nov. 6, 2004. Gold spurs distinguish cavalry scouts from other cavalry Soldiers and are awarded to those troopers who have served honorably in a combat zone. U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Susan German, 122nd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
