what a surprise

Spoke with Vanguard about the mini medal. They don't have any idea because it has been put on hold for the moment. The uniform folks are trying to "clean up" some of our medal and ribbon issues. It should still be done but it may be a while.

That's good to hear. I do hope that things get run through with a fine tooth comb. We need it.

Eaker was a LtGen on active duty, but was later promoted to GEN (as was Doolittle and Davis). So shouldn't it have 4 stars?

And shouldn't it have two crossed violins, since Eaker played second fiddle to Spaatz his entire career?

It looks like the Eaker Mini-Medals are now available for purchase from Vanguard. Just in time to get it before NSC! :clap:

Not fair... The drape actually matches the ribbon.

I hope they have them at the NB. I would like to have one for my collection.

SilverEagle2 · August 26, 2009, 08:23:59 PM

Finally...ordered.

Am I seeing this right, or is the torch a brass tone against the silver?

Eclipse · August 26, 2009, 09:00:30 PM

Appears to be...

Got mine and it is by far the best stamped medal I have seen. Very high quality.

Yes it is. I picked up a few at the NB. I am going to try and get a better picture of it and post.
