It is one of the most recognizable breast insignia of the U.S. Navy. Established on October 16, 1970, the Special Warfare insignia was initially issued in two grades, gold for officers and silver for enlisted. In 1978 the Silver SEAL insignia was abolished after which the Special Warfare insignia was issued thereafter. The SEAL insignia is therefore unusual in the Navy being as it is one of the very few breast insignia issued identically for both officers and enlisted personnel. This is partly due to the combined training both officers and enlisted receive, side by side, when involved in BUD\/S training. The Special Warfare insignia consists of a golden eagle clutching a U.S. Navy anchor, trident, and flintlock style pistol. The decoration is considered a successor to the obsolete Underwater Demolition Insignia. The general design was likely derived from the British Combined Operations badge. Sailors who complete BUD\/S training at Coronado California are reclassified to the Special Warfare Operator (SO) rating. Sailors must complete SEAL Qualification Training (SQT) before receiving Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 5326 Combatant Swimmer (SEAL) or, in the case of commissioned naval officers, the designation 1130 Naval Special Warfare (SEAL) Officer. Prior to the establishment of the SO rating in 2006, SEAL operators were sourced from regular Naval ratings, with the title of SEAL treated like a warfare qualification, attaching (SEAL) after the rating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46127224848661,"sku":"W5890","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/ci19_0379.jpg?v=1692888214"},{"product_id":"united-states-a-state-of-new-york-veteran-corps-of-artillery-blazer-patch-c1984-w6010","title":"United States.

Claire Chennault of the American Volunteer Group (AVG) (known as the Flying Tigers) was appointed the commander and promoted to Major General. The \"Flying Tigers\" of 14 AF (who adopted the \"Flying Tigers\" designation from the AVG) conducted highly effective fighter and bomber operations along a wide front that stretched from the bend of the Yellow River and Tsinan in the north to Indochina in the south, from Chengtu and the Salween River in the west to both East and South China Seas and the island of Formosa in the east. They were also instrumental in supplying Chinese forces through the airlift of cargo across \"The Hump\" in the China-Burma-India theater. By the end of the Second World War, 14 AF had achieved air superiority over the skies of China and established a ratio of 7.7 enemy planes destroyed for every American plane lost in combat. Overall, military officials estimated that over 4,000 Japanese planes were destroyed or damaged in the China-Burma-India theater during the Second World War. In addition, they estimated that air units in China destroyed 1,100,000 tons of shipping, 1,079 locomotives, 4,836 trucks and 580 bridges. The United States Army Air Forces credits 14 AF with the destruction of 2,315 Japanese aircraft, 356 bridges, 1,225 locomotives and 712 railroad cars.

This particular helmet plate came from a collector in Virginia. He stated that the plate belonged to Captain William Thornton, commander of the Alexandria Dragoons and was purchased from the family. Captain William Thornton's Alexandria Dragoons fought at the Battle of Bladensburg and Washington City in late August 1814. Captain Thornton commanded the Alexandria Dragoons who were the scout dragoon company that was with Secretary of State James Monroe at the Battle of Bladensburg, Maryland, fought on August 24, 1814 and Washington City several days later. Captain Thornton rode out with 25 to 30 Alexandria Dragoons on August 19, 1814, as an escort for Secretary of State James Monroe, on a scouting expatiation to the Patuxent River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, to search for the invading British forces. They arrived on a hill overlooking the river, three miles from Benedict, Maryland on August 20th, where they discovered the British landing forces. Secretary Monroe sent a dragoon with a dispatch back to President James Madison, then proceeded to follow the British for the next several days, sending dragoons back with dispatches on the British movements. Secretary Monoroe and Captain Thorton met with American General William Winder at Bladensburg, where they fought at the Battle of Bladensburg on August 24, 1814. After the American defeat, the Alexandria Dragoons continued to escort Monroe during the retreat to and through Washington, fighting the British mounted dragoons at the crossing of the Anacostia River (where the South Capitol Bridge is now), along South Capitol Street (where the McLaughlin Bank was), near the Treasury Building, White House and then across the Potomac River into Virginia. After the British burned Washington, Captain Thornton and his dragoons were ordered to Alexandria, Virgina, where they encamped on top of Shooter's Hill, a high hill west of the city where the Monistic Temple now sits. From this position, they observed the British landing from seven British warships, followed by the capture and sacking of Alexandria. Their orders were to observe the British, in order to find out if there were any further advances westward into Virginia, but none materialized. After several days, the dragoons returned to their homes in Virginia, as the British had returned to their ships and had withdrawn down the Potomac River. Captain Thornton found his apothecary ramshackled and in ruins, with all the drugs, medicines, potions and other medical necessities taken by the British.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. The first known distinctive metal branch insignia authorized for the Army is this helmet plate c. 1800, originally produced in brass. This plate was also worn by the First and Second Dragoon Guards during the War of 1812, the helmet plate now produced in pewter. The Congressional act of April 12, 1808 authorized a standing regiment of light dragoons consisting of eight troops. As war loomed, Congress authorized another regiment of light dragoons on January 11, 1812. These regiments were respectively known afterwards as the First and Second United States Dragoons. In 1813, Secretary of War John Armstrong, Jr. granted Colonel Richard Mentor Johnson permission to raise two battalions of volunteer cavalry. Johnson recruited 1,200 men, divided into fourteen companies. Congress combined the First and Second United States Dragoons into one Regiment of Light Dragoons on March 30, 1814. This was a cost-cutting measure, as it was cheaper and easier to maintain one unit at full strength, than two organizations that could not maintain a full complement of riders. The signing of the Treaty of Ghent at the end of the year ended the war. The regiment was disbanded on March 3, 1815, with the explanation that cavalry forces were too expensive to maintain as part of a standing army. The retained officers and men were folded into the Corps of Artillery by June 15, 1815, while all others were discharged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46132162101525,"sku":"M0004-25.RL2","price":2160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/mnc0778_m20_0671_1_1.jpg?v=1692899756"},{"product_id":"united-states-a-royal-air-force-raf-eagle-squadron-shoulder-patch-rare-c1941-w7109","title":"United States.

In doing so, they lost their citizenship, although Congress passed a blanket pardon in 1944. Even so, hundreds if not thousands of American citizens volunteered to fly with the Royal Air Force before America officially entered the war in December, 1941. Perhaps the most famous result of this were the Eagle Squadrons. In 1939, American mercenary Colonel Charles Sweeney had begun raising an American squadron to fight in Europe, much as the Lafayette Escadrille had during the First World War. Initially he wanted them to fight in Finland against the Soviets, but his attention soon moved to France. Recruited and financed by Sweeney, over thirty Americans made their way to France before the Germans invaded in May 1940. None got to fly in France, but several made their way to Britain. In Britain, Sweeney's nephew, also called Charles, had already been busy. He had formed a Home Guard unit from Americans living in London, and was keen on the idea of American squadrons in the Royal Air Force. He took the idea to the Air Ministry, and in July 1940, they agreed that the handful of Americans already serving in the RAF, plus any new recruits, would be formed into their own national units, to be known as Eagle Squadrons. The first, No.71 Squadron, was formed in September, followed by Nos.121 and 133 Squadrons over the next twelve months. By this time the Sweeney's had recruited around 50 pilots, and arranged and paid for them to be smuggled to Canada and then make their way to Britain. At this point, they handed responsibility over to the Clayton Knight Committee. This Committee, working like the Sweeney's against American law, had been formed in September 1939, to recruit Americans for the RAF. It had been founded by Air Vice-Marshall Billy Bishop VC, a Canadian First World War veteran, and was run by an American First World War veteran, Clayton Knight. The Clayton Knight Committee, working largely in secret, recruited nearly 7,000 American citizens for the RAF or Royal Canadian Air Force, and then arranged for their transportation to Canada. Nearly 250 went on to serve with the Eagle Squadrons. In December 1941, the United States of America entered the war, and the Clayton Knight Committee ceased its operations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46132308541717,"sku":"W7109","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/ci19_5195_1.jpg?v=1692900477"},{"product_id":"united-states-a-rare-la-fayette-escadrille-side-cap-c1916-w6703rl2","title":"United States.

Mason (July 15th, 1904 - July 9th, 1995) was a Rear Admiral and Lt. Commander of the US Navy. He was raised on a farm in Indiana, graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1925, and learned Japanese at the American Embassy in Tokyo in the 1930’s. He served as a cryptologist in naval operations during the Second World War at the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations in Washington. His most significant work was aiding in the breaking of the Japanese Code, which helped defeat the Japanese in the Pacific when he informed his commanders that Japanese Admiral Yamamoto was flying into the Pacific theatre to inspect various installations. This information led to the shooting down of his plane by P-38 fighters. Although Mason’s work as a Codebreaker was top secret at the time, he was later awarded the Legion of Merit “for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States, as well as the Navy Distinguished Service Medal for “exceptionally meritious and distinguished service in a position of great responsibility to the Government of the United States while attached to the Division of Naval Communications from April 13th, 1942 to September 2nd, 1945. Redfield Mason appeared on the NBC quiz show “The Big Surprise” in 1956, winning USD 20,000 on February 25th, 1956, USD 50,000 on March 3rd, and $100,000 on March 20th of the same year. Following his retirement at the rank of Rear Admiral in 1966, Mason lived a quiet life on a farm near Warrenton. He passed from old age (91) on July 9th, 1995 in a nursing home in Warrenton, and was interned on July 18th, 1995 at the Arlington National Cemetery in Section 60, Site 6352.

Donald McGregor Morrison was born on December 4, 1906 in Glens Falls, New York, the youngest of three children of John R. Morrison and Mary Burch Morrison.  At the age of eight ,his family moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he graduated from King George High School in 1925. He studied civil engineering at the University of Chattanooga (Tennessee) and at the University of Washington in Seattle, enrolling in the latter's Naval ROTC unit. He left college to work as a Civil Service employee with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on a survey project of the Tennessee River. In 1928, he entered the U.S. Coast Guard Academy at New London, Connecticut, with an appointment as cadet and graduated with a commission as Ensign on May 15, 1931. Subsequently, he would advance in rank to Lieutenant (jg), May 15, 1934; Lieutenant, May 15, 1936; Lieutenant Commander, June 15, 1942; Commander, November 1, 1942; Captain, August 6, 1951; Rear Admiral, February 1, 1961; Vice Admiral, July 3, 1962.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter attending the Academy, he was assigned first to the Coast Guard Cutter Haida at Seattle, then to the Cutter Snohomish at Port Angeles, and in August 1931, was stationed aboard the Cutter Tallapoosa which was based at Juneau, Alaska. He was transferred in March 1934, serving as navigator first in the Cutter Gresham and then in the Cutter Seneca out of Mobile, Alabama. At the decommissioning of the latter in 1935, he was assigned as a student engineer aboard the Cutter Pontchartrain which operated out of New York City. While with that vessel he served on the 1936 and 1937 International Ice Patrol. During the Ohio-Mississippi River flood of 1937, he was assigned temporarily to assist the Coast Guard flood relief forces at Cairo, Illinois. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn April 1938, he reported to the Cutter Northland at Seattle, to serve as engineer officer during her last Arctic mission from the West Coast. After the decommissioning of the vessel at Oakland, California, he instructed licensed Merchant Marine personnel in marine engineering at the Maritime Service Training Station on Government Island, Alameda, California. When the Northland was re-commissioned in June 1939, he accompanied her to Boston, Massachusetts, to assist in her outfitting for the second Byrd Antarctic Expedition. Upon the eruption of hostilities in Europe in September 1939, the Northland was withdrawn from the expedition and returned to Alameda. The following month of May, he sailed with that cutter to the New York Navy Yard, where she was fitted for special duty in Greenland. He continued serving as her engineer officer and also as her executive officer until May 1941, during which he made two extended cruises to Greenland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the next two years, he was assigned to the Cooper Bessemer Corporation at Grove City, Pennsylvania, as chief machinery inspector for a new 180-foot class of buoy tenders, and at the Marine Iron and Shipbuilding Company and Zenith Dredge Company at Duluth, Minnesota, to supervise the installation of machinery, tests, and trail runs of those vessels. Upon completion of the project, he was assigned as Coast Guard representative in the Office of Inspector of Machinery, U.S. Navy, at the plant of Fairbanks-More Corporation in Beloit, Wisconsin, for Diesel engines being built for heavy duty \"Wind\"-class icebreakers. These icebreakers were designed by the Coast Guard for Arctic duty as a result of the war emergency and were then under construction. He had the additional duties at that time of training Naval and Coast Guard personnel in the operation of engines used in submarines, destroyers, as well as in Coast Guard icebreakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn August 1943, during World War II, he became engineer officer of the attack troop transport USS Cambria (APA-36) while she was undergoing conversion at the Todd Hoboken Plant, New Jersey. A Commander at that time, he served as her executive officer in the Pacific Marshall Islands campaigns at Majuro, Kwajelein, and Eniwetok. In April 1944, he was reassigned to the troop transport USS General M.C. Meigs (AP-116) which was then being built at the Federal Shipbuilding Company, Kearney, New Jersey. After commissioning of that vessel, he was her engineer officer while she engaged in transporting troops from Norfolk, Virginia to the Mediterranean. In September 1944, he was assigned as training officer and later as executive officer at the Coast Guard Training Station in Groton, Connecticut. Reporting next to the attack troop transport USS Joseph T. Dickman (APA-13) at Eniwetok in August 1945, he served first as her executive officer and later as her commanding officer. The Dickman, with him aboard, was one of the first transports to return a large number of recovered allied prisoners of war from the Philippines to the United States, and later participated in the \"Magic Carpet\" program of returning military personnel from the Pacific war zone to home shores. His awards for service during World War II include: the American Defense Service Medal with bronze \"A\" (Atlantic Fleet), the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with one bronze star, the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter decommissioning of the Dickman in March 1946 and until June 1959, he served as Chief, Marine Engineering Section, then as Chief, Engineering Division in the 14th Coast Guard District office at Honolulu, Hawaii. Stationed next in the 17th Coast Guard District office at Juneau, Alaska, he served there as Chief, Engineering Division and also as aide to Ernest Gruening, Governor of Alaska. From September 1952 to July 1954, he commanded the Coast Guard Cutter Bibb (WPG-31) which operated out of Boston, Massachusetts, as an ocean station (weather) patrol vessel in the North Atlantic. He was then assigned to the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island, for a course of instructions in naval warfare. Completing the course in July 1955, he became Chief, Shore Units Division at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C. In June 1958, he was reassigned as special assistant to the Commandant of the Coast Guard. One year later he became Chief of the Operations Division at the 5th Coast Guard District office which was then located in Norfolk, Virginia.
