Good Morning, Troopers,
Back in July, I sent out information about two special badges ideas that I had a professional metallic company (Northwest Territorial Mint) design for us--a CIB and Jump Wings with the Purple Heart badge on each for those of us who earned both. Of course the special badge is not sanctioned by the DOA, but who knows, one day it may be...and should be. I did not forget those of you who were not qualified airborne, or our Medics (CMB). The deciding factors here will be the costs, and who will buy these badges, in order for me to recover the layout cost $250 mold fee. They also charge per badge, which depends on how many we order (no minimum or maximum to order). I am suggesting $25 per badge at this time. If the numbers are there, the price will drop to $20 per badge. Some of you have told me that you would order one or the other, so I have to make a decision soon with the Mint.
So, here is what I need for you to do today, if you want one or both badges. Respond to this message with your commitment (again) to mail me a personal check, or preferably a PayPal payment ($25 each badge), and if the response is sufficient, I will place an order with NTM to produce the badges. I will report back to everyone on how many orders I receive through this message. If the numbers are there, I will then request your order with payment. So please respond to this message ASAP for the last time. My PayPal ID is: The Stand Alone Battalion or jerryberry@currahee.org.
1. Jump Wings with Purple Heart: Quantity ______. (will need a PayPal payment, or personal check)
2. CIB with Purple Heart: Quantity ______. (will need a PayPal payment, or personal check)
3. Air Assault with Purple Heart: Quantity ______. (will order for non airborne members, even though the badge was not authorized for Vietnam)
4. CMB with Purple Heart: Quantity ______. (will order if I get enough members to justify ordering...)
For those of you who did not earn a PH, or desire one of the badges, I welcome anyone’s contribution toward this project, to help offset the production of the badge or badges, which will help make the cost per badge less for members. Any contribution to make the pre-order for the Combat Medic Badge possible will get that badge produced.
