Thanks Gunny. The buckle is called "American Eagle" and the artist is Don McKee, a former Marine Corps fighter pilot. I was commissioned in USAF 10 Nov 64 which as you know is the Marine Corps birthday because Lt Col John Glenn was in attendance. We had been scheduled to be commissioned 11 Nov for Armistice Day. Will try to post close up of buckle. Thanks for your service.
