Mitt speech… “out of the out— out of the White House” Mitt Romney almost said we’ll get Obama “out of the outhouse” but he stopped himself after “out” and laughed.
Medal from the “Northeastern Campaign”
From the collection of Walter Corbiere
The Northeastern Campaign seems to refer to Chinese Red Army fighting against the Japanese during World War II. The Red Army later became known as the People’s Liberation Army.
Medal is dated 1947. The ribbon is re-sewn and the clasp is in excellent shape; the rust is very even but does not obscure any part of the text or date, so the medal may be fake. However the dealer in Ningbo, China was somewhat reputable, and the front damage is more pronounced than the back damage, as though it had been displayed for a long time. Any hints as to its authenticity? Let me know.
