So cool for you to share this. Please tell us the names of the different medals.

The knife medal is awarded to soldiers who where in combat, not simply deployed but was involved in combat. I was first given mine for when I was hit by the first IED and took rpg & mortar fire. This medal is called the CAB, Combat Action Badge.

Purple Heart
I was awarded it for being wounded in combat.

RCOM - army commendation medal
I was awarded this for standing in the gunner turret and returning fire with a 240bravo when my 50 cal went down.

Afghanistan Camp Medal
For being deployed to Afghanistan.

War on terrorism
For being at war with terrorism I assume.

The coins on the other hand I cannot sit and go through, when you meet someone of importance they give you a coin if they choose to. Some of my coins is from when I was in the hospital, some was given to my wife when they didnt think I would survive, and some I won through high score ranges and excellent PT scores.
