What Vietnam medal was there a shortage of?
In country, men were often "pinned" while standing in formation, at the position of attention. But more often than not, with the constant rotation of 12 month tours, combined with the hustle and bustle of war, and troop movements constantly coming and going; having a medal pinned on you was the least thing on a man's mind. We had a saying, "that and a dime...will get ya a cup a coffee" (referring to the purple heart medal). Many, many GI's transferred from one unit to the next, largely due to President Nixon's redeployments, so that many men served in 2 or 3 different units (regiments) during their one or more tours in country. More often than not, medals were forwarded to the next unit; and the GI didn't even know he was receiving the medal...in one case a company clerk was shooting the breeze with a fellow GI, and the clerk looked at his name tag as they conversed, then nonchalantly said, "so you're ......., wait here, got something for ya." 15 seconds later he returned with the standard green rubberized folder with a paper certificate of a medal, and a set of orders to go with. Another time, a GI was handed the same government issue green folder with another set of orders & certificate for a purple heart medal; through the screen door of the orderly room. No ceremonies, just a "...here, this is for you." In both cases NO medals were given, only the orders (the most important part) and the certificate for the wall. Most GI's had to purchase the ribbon at the local PX. Which he'd certainly get a chance to do, when he prepared to board the Freedom Bird. An NCO would inspect each man as he boarded the plane for proper uniform, and the medals (ribbon only) had to be worn prior to boarding. The ribbon was practical to wear on the khaki uniform for returning home; NOT the actual medal.

What was the point system for discharge in World War 2?
My fathe was in the first us army division 16th infantry. He enlisted in 1940 & was honorably discharge May 14th 1945. My father was sent home on furlough in 1945 as he had accumulated enough points.He sailed from La Havre, France in February 1945. I believe the army points system was as follows: 1 point for each month in the service. 1 point for each month overseas. 5 points if you received the bronze. 5 points for any additional medal 5 points for the purple heart. 12 points for each child under 18. Once you had 85 points yoou were entitled for furlough stateside.
