Please be advised that the PX is
presently a concept in developement.
SOME of the items listed here are not available at this
time. The PX was just beginning to get
"off the ground" in 2003 when it was temporarily "put on hold". We
hope to develope this area within the next year to offer a wide range of items relating to
the 1/50th Infantry, past and present! . It may take some face to face
"brainstorming" at the 2007 reunion..or things may just "develop"
spontaneously. Check back from time to time or keep an eye on the "What's New"
page for changes. Currently, the Document CD's and awards certificates referenced below
are available from our Historian, Jim Sheppard
Shirts, Hats, Travel Mugs, Mugs, Insignia, Crests....etc
will be available for purchase here in the future!

Awards,
Statuettes, Certificates - AVAILABLE as of February, 2006
Unofficial 1/50 color certificates previously sold here have been discontinued due to the "Stolen Valor
Act" and the
fact that the documents we offered appeared to be copies of official Government
Documents. We suggest you seek replacement certificates from the proper US Government
channels.
We will be creating new "Battle Certificates" commemorating the
various major battles of the 50th Infantry in Vietnam. Look for these new
certificates to be available by the 2009 reunion..

"A Tribute to a Fallen Comrade"

to the 1/50 Battalion in April 2003.

We're still building our PX. If you are having difficulty ordering from this page,
please contact us through the link at the end of this paragraph. We hope to be adding
pictures of Tom Knepps 50th Infantry Shirts in the near future. Tom has promised he
will send my photos of what he will offer. A portion of the profits from Tom's Shirt sales
will go into the Association's Operating Fund. We hope to eventually add the ability to
pay via credit card. Please email suggestions to PX
Page Suggestions & requests. Thanks.
