Subject: Air Assault Badge

I served with the 1st Bn 511th Inf,11th Air Assault Division
(T) from 10/1963 to 1 July 1965 when we Became the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). Serve in Vietnam with the
1st Bn 5th Cav and if we who served our time are not qualified to wear the Air Assault Badge then no one else is too. The criteria for the newer badge should be more in line
with the criteria for the airborne badge. I don't know what
the problem is at DOD and Dept of the Army but I do think
that someone should get their head out of there posterior
areas. Have written to representative years ago with no
response about this. Combat Assaults seem to meet criteria
for award as does a parachute jump in hostile territory.
Welcome Home to all who served.
