My collection

Rhea wanted me to add this stuff to the web page. The center medallion (Pewter CID Badge) I received when I re-enlisted for two more years. I will have just over one year remaining when I return from Iraq. The coin above that is a United States Army Europe Coin I received from the 1ST Infantry Division (Germany) when they were here. The coin to the right of the medallion is from the Provost Marshal on FOB Danger. He is the Commander of the Military Police Unit here. The coin below the medallion is from Four Star General Schoomaker, the Army Chief of Staff. I received that coin for protecting him while he was on FOB Danger a couple of months ago. The coin in the upper left side of the photograph is from Four Star General Myers, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. In other words he is in charge of the United States Military. He is actually an Air Force General and a real nice guy. I received that one for protecting him while he was here too. The coin that has the gold CID Badge is from my Battalion Operations Office. She reviewed a case I am working on and said our office did a real good job on the investigation we are currently working on. The coin she gave me is an Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) coin. From what I am told, that coin is the hardest coin to receive as a CID Agent, only because in order to get one you have to work on a type of case that I am working on. I have over 35 coins from my time in the military and for me to receive this one, from a Forensic Science Officer means the most to me. I am not going to mention her name because I don’t know if she wants me to, but it is definitely the most meaningful. She is the senior CID Agent in the Iraqi theater of operations and she talks to me like I have known her for years. She is a great mentor and will train any Agent without a thought as to her rank or position.
