The book every sailor should own.,
This review is from: Complete Guide to United States Navy Medals, Badges and Insignia: World War II to Present (Paperback)
The book is designed to present a huge wealth of detailed information previously not in print in a manner consistent with easy access and historical accuracy. The very concise and smooth-flowing history of Navy awards and insignia, the very emblems that have adorned the Navy uniform are traced from the America Revolution to the present military operations in Iraq.
