Nice medals. Clearly 1 stands out above the others in my mind  All very beautiful. And I would like to see an AIR FORCE one chaf as my son is currently serving in that branch. So there is your mission - seek out and acquire the missing medal

You got it scopru. I'm sure I have it here. I wouldn't have bought the others and not the USAF. I'll have to double check the storage chest I had all my newly rediscovered stuff in.

Thanks for sharing! I've always liked these medals.
Just FYI, there isn't a matching Air Force medal for this set. The medals were originally issued during the US bicentennial with each commemorating the 200th anniversary of each service. As the Air Force was not in existence in the 1770s, there was no bicentennial to celebrate and thus no medal.

Well that makes sense. Wasn't thinking of the correlation between the branches and the country bicentennial. Thanks commems.
