The 4 bars with different colors as in this picture:\nhttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y195/clawhammer64/b32a3a01.jpg\n\nI need some of these for a costume.  I know these are specific to each soldier/officer, but is there anywhere I can buy these online?\n\nThanks!!

These are called Ribbon Bars\n\nRibbon bars are small devices that are worn by military service personnel or by civilians. Ribbon bars are mainly used when wearing either the full decoration or medal is considered inappropriate. Each military force has their own rules on what ribbons are worn in which order of precedence.\n\nThe following website has a large selection with pictures that should help you find the ones you need. Make sure you get them "Mounted" or else you will only receive the small ribbons and not the full rows of bars\n\nhttp://www.usmedals.com/

Call or visit the nearest USAF Recruiting Office for help.  I'm sure they like us Army types will be more than happy to assist. Just remember, you are a civilian, never try to pass yourself off as someone else.  I caution you only because we are having trouble now with people who are doing that.  It's against the law to do that.  Admiring the jacket and wanting to be accurate however, is great!!  I wish you the best of luck.  LTC M, USA, RET

If you want an answer to your question.... ask an old soldier. The  left shoulder patch in your father's photo is the ID patch of the Third Support Brigade which, by the way, is not a Vietnam unit but a Vietnam era unit that was stationed within the continental United States. It was activated during August, 1966, and deactivated in 1991. The patch has a red background bordered by yellow with three yellow spearheads in the foreground. The spearheads are pointing upward and are joined at the shoulder symbolizing the spirit of cooperation and industry exerted in support of services to the Army's combat elements. Your fathers rank, below the unit ID patch, shows at that time he was a Specialist Fourth Class ( E-4 ). Kind of like a specialized corporal but had no NCO privileges. The ribbon he is wearing over his left pocket is the ribbon of the National Defense Medal. The badge below that is an Expert Rifleman's Badge for rifle marksmanship. When this photo was taken your father had not been sent to Vietnam yet since no campaign or other personal awards (i.e. ribbons) are present in the photo. I hope this answers your question. If you could describe your fathers Vietnam unit patch, located on the right shoulder of the uniform, I would be more than happy to assist in explaining where your father was at in Vietnam and with what unit he was with. By the way, nice tattoo and your mom and dad did a good job. You're very pretty and lucky to have a dad who served. Tell him I said, "Welcome Home".

Well first off I'd try looking up the person who made the shirt and contacting them directly for a supplier.  Or you could always just go ask Hop Topic and those other places.  that's about the best I can come up with man, hope that helps.

A Suggestion...go to the Irish Brigade Gift Shop.  They don't exactly have what you are looking for, but they do have a bookstore and a lot of other memorabilia relating to the famous Irish Brigade.  \n\nOr there is IrishBrigade.com.  \n\nOr finally there is a ton of memorabilia relating to the Irish Brigade on EBay.  Check them out.

I've seen them in my local Lewiscraft.  You have to paint them yourself, though, so don't forget the gold spraypaint! :)

I assume that you're looking for the 2" center bar buckle, or maybe the 1-3/4".\n\nTandy Leather used to carry them. They've been resurrected on the Web at http://www.tandyleather.com/ \nI didn't see any there when I looked though. You can give them a closer look. They have some up to 1"\n\nEBay might be another shot.\n\nA standard belt supplier, like Max Lang, might have what you want. (2)\n\nIf not successful, I think I would go to a toolbelt buckle which is very similar and can be gotten from hardware and tool supply stores.

lol...some of the shirts are pretty funny...its weird i saw this bartender wearing the choose sex 1 a couple weeks ago, but i couldnt understand where she said got it. but the 1 problem with the site is the artwork needs a little fixing, i ordered the C.S. shirt but i dont know if i would of if i didnt see it in person..the C.S. takes up the whole back of the shirt, on the site it makes it look like an after thought. maybe they should use actual pics or something.

That's hilarious. I love the Kobra Kai uniforms, and the pimp-hapkido blackbelt was funny aswell. Here in the Netherlands, we don't celebrate Halloween. If we did, I'd certainly go out in a gi or dobok of some sort! Really, the Kobra Kai uniforms are ace.\n\nNow that I said that, I really have to ask the following.\n\nCan one actually use a Chi ball to destroy a planet?

My husband is a 13B.  He doesn't get to shoot much anymore these days, but enjoys being a red leg through and through.  I love being an artillery spouse.  When he was deployed to Iraq I got a tattoo of a heart with cross cannon in the front and his name. It totally blew him away. All of his buddies in his unit thought that was the coolest thing. Can you get more red leg than that? When we go to our St Barbara's balls, we can't wait for the Artillery Punch, that is always the absolute best part of the evening.

Have you thought of just going down to an Army Surplus Store and picking up a footlocker? They are made of wood with steel re-enforced corners, and have a tray insert. With a minimal amount of fuss, you can customize one to fit your needs.\n\n-SD-
