<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 877251, member: 24633&quot;]I believe the medal is a commemorative and not a medal that was issued by the military. Was your grandfather in World War I? Where did he live at that time? The 29th Infantry, known as the &quot;Blue and Gray&quot; Division, was formed in 1917 from National Guard units of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and the District of Columbia. Is it possible that your father acquired the medal from your grandfather or perhaps he acquired it in remembrance of your grandfather? The 45th Infantry was formed in World War II from elements of the Oklahoma National Guard.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
