Marine Issued Cards

 

G'day Sgt. Grit,
 
I have been enjoying the stories behind the older Liberty cards that have been shown, very much.  While I have no liberty card today, I do have a Geneva Convention Card issued to all FMF Corpsmen going into RVN.  (To this day, I detest the word "Medic"!)  Mine was handed to me just minutes before we flew the several hours in a C-130 from Okinawa to Da Nang air strip in early 1966.  The second photo shows the inside of a leather wallet given as a Christmas present to any who wanted one in the Third Division.  The outside of the wallet showed a gold Eagle, Globe and Anchor.  It has many Grunt miles on it, as do most of us today… but I thought you might like to see these items.
