Can someone be a "twice awarded Combat Infantry Badge recipient" from different wars (Korea & VN)?

There are still a few guys out there active with a few from Panama, Somalia, and the current wars.

Yes u can brother. I personally have a star. Second award. Desert storm and OIF/OEF. They are given for campaigns but also time frames.

the short answer is yes! WWII and Korea; Korea and Vietnam a few WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Army policy governs but you can't get a second award for multiple deployments in the same war that is covered by battle stars and campaign ribbons.

If It was earned, it should be awarded.

Of course. I served with CIB vets from WW2, Korea and Nam.

My Senior Drill Instructor at Basic Training at Ft. Benning in 1965 was awarded a CIB with two stars for combat in WWII, Korea and in Vietnam.

Yes, and it's the one with two stars.

Yes you get to wear a star on your CIB.

Yes, you get a Star above the rifle and between the reef.

Sure they were in different Wars! As I learned from my 1st Sgt. in Vietnam in '67-'68 TET! "Cates I can do whatever I want with your BUT THIS IS A WAR ZONE"! I learned that one day when I got orders to become a Medic even though I had been trained as a 76y30 Supply/small arms repairmen and I went to him and that is when he told me that! Well I had had a little bit of Public Speaking Training in Jr. College and I thought it is my life on the line right now I/we had just heard that the same thing had happened to a friend of ours a few weeks earlier and sadly he had a leg blown off and sent stateside! So I decided I would go to the 198th Brgd. Headquarters down on the Chu Lai next to the Chu Lai Airport! So I went down made an appointment with a Col. I think for the next day and I walked in and he said how can I help you Troop? I said my orders have been changed to a Medic with some Infantry Unit and I don't mind dieing sur but I wasn't trained to be a Medic! The Col. said I I will change your orders back! The secretary typed up my new orders putting me back in my old MOS and I took it back up to the 1/14th Artillary Btln. Hdqt's Btry. and as I was walking to the Comand Post I ran into the 1st. Sgt. and he said are you ready to leave Cates and I CANT TELL YOU WHAT HE SAID! Oh what the Hell! No I better not BUT HE WAS SO MAD WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT THE Col. at Brigade changed my orders back THAT I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST GOING TO EXPLODE RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT!!! All good! Hey anyone going to that Celebration in WDC this coming July 4th! Souds Great to me! It is so exciting to have a Pres. that thinks of what we do RIGHT rather than OUR MISTAKES!!!! Sp/5 Cates
