Talk:Air Force Combat Action Medal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I belive the medal shown is incorrect. I belive the eagle on this medal should be the "war eagle" variety. This means that the head should be pointing to the side with the arrows, not the Olive Branches.

[edit] AFCAM

I just spent 365 days in Iraq going on over 200 combat support missions, being directly engaged by enemy forces. Although i was not awarded the AFCAM... why? The Air Force feels as if a helicopter is more prone to hostil forces then a HUMVEE on the ground. My convoy was hit by 3 roadside bombs and engaged by small arms fire over 30 times. But "to the Air Force" I haven't seen combat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.7.52.17 (talk) 13:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
