I got issued my second a couple years ago, 44 years late and it was the heavy (brass?) gold plated one with my name on the back. My first one was stolen by a kid that thought it was solid gold. It was issued in Viet Nam and did not have my name on it. You can request a reissue of decorations on the SF 180 and get a new set. Maybe they can afford brass now.

I think if you buy a replacement vs. what they handed out, you can get a nicer one.

I looked around and the full medal ones are $39.

Given that I am 20lbs too heavy for my dress blues, however, it’s not an issue. Ha.
