FORT POLK!
FORT POLK, LOUISIANA SENT MORE TROOPS TO VIETNAM THAN ANY OTHER INSTALLATION DURING THE VIETNAM WAR...THAT'S A FACT! PERSONALLY FOR ME, I HAD TAKEN BASIC TRAINING AT FORT GORDON, GEORGIA. THE ORDERLY ROOM HAD POSTED AFTER GRADUATION WHERE WE WERE HEADED AND WHAT OUR MOS WAS GOING TO BE...11B. WE WERE BUSED TO FORT POLK AND UPON ARRIVING, WE WERE QUICKLY INTRODUCED TO "TIGER LAND". 9 WEEKS OF INFANTRY TRAINING...NORTH FORT. THERE WASN'T ANY DOUBT, WE WERE HEADED TO VIETNAM...IN FACT, DURING OUR INDOCTRINATION, WE WERE TOLD STRAIGHT OUT TO FORGET ABOUT GOING TO KOREA OR GERMANY, "YOU TROOPS WILL BE HEADED TO VIETNAM UPON GRADUATION." AND THERE IT WAS, A WAKE UP CALL FOR ALL OF US.
THIS COIN IS BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED IN FULL COLOR WITH BOTH 2D AND 3D OPTICS AND MEASURES 1 3/4 INCHES IN DIAMETER. ON THE REVERSE, WHAT STANDS OUT THE MOST...BROTHERHOOD OF THE BLUE CORD. NOW, YOU FELLOW 11 BOOTS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS, IT'S THE MOST RECOGNIZED CORD WORN BY THE UNITED STATES ARMY. ALSO, ON THE REVERSE IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN ADD YOUR NAME OR RANK OR WHATEVER YOU WANT. FOR ME, I HAVE ADDED C33 WHICH WAS MY ADVANCED INFANTRY TRAINING COMPANY. JUST TAKE THIS COIN TO AN ENGRAVER AND YOU WILL HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL COIN....OR JUST LEAVE IT BLANK. THIS COIN IS REASONABLY PRICED FOR ALL THAT WENT THROUGH THE GRUELING TRAINING OF TIGER LAND!Visit My store!
