I remember seeing USAF personnel in the UK with medals and ribbons for serving in a "war zone", which is how they classified the UK. A "war" that they funded.
AS
please explain in greater detail where and when you saw USAF personnel wearing ribbons and medals for action while in the UK?
I only recall US personnel stationed in the UK to help protect against the Soviet Union and definitely do not recall them being involved in any actions against any other force.
The only reference to US troops in action in the UK I can find are those that helped out with the German problem in the early 1940's.
There seem to be many here with chips on their shoulder about Americans and not only from those associated with this forum. I have seen it/read it and experienced it here. Say/think what you may, but you were liking us 77-79 years ago. Ever been to Cambridge Cemetery?
