Army Good Conduct Medal
Airman, July, 2004 by Bob Sunden
I'm responding to the answer you provided in the May 2004 AirMail about the Army Good Conduct Medal clasp being awarded to Air Force members when they were part of the Army Air Forces. However, Air Force members were also awarded the medal and clasp after the Air Force became a separate branch of the military in 1947. I enlisted in the Air Force in October 1948, and my Department of Defense Form 214 dated 1961 shows I was awarded the medal and clasp with three loops. After that I was awarded the Air Force Good Conduct Medal.
