I had an old 1SG (now CSM) who wished he could trade in his Venezuela Parachutist Badge for another countries after they went full-blown communist. Do you any you would trade in for another?

The only two badges that matter are the CIB and the jump wings with a combat jump star.

Why not wear them if he got them in a time of peace. And if that's the case most of us would trade in those welcome to the Army ribbons.

I wouldn’t trade in any of my badges, I earned each and everyone of them, including a set of Venezuelan Jump Wings.

I would trade in every badge, medal, service stripe, and rank insignia to have brought all of my Soldiers home to their families whole rather than broken or in a box.
RIP Mark, Robert, Stephen, and Hua.
I think of you all every day.
