     Throughout 2007-2009 the membership of the Association joined by non-member supporters of the Website History Project, provided enough donations to Phase-I for the purchase of 16 official unit Guidon's and staffs, which were proudly displayed at the 2010 Reunion in Washington, DC. They represented HQ Detachment, Alpha Company, Bravo Company, Charlie Company, Delta Company, 615th MP Company, 212th MP Company (Sentry Dog), 188th MP Company, 401st MP Company, 410th MP Company, 411th MP Company, 64th MP Company, 110th MP Company, 838th MP Company, C Company, 1st Battalion, 182nd Field Artillery, and 127th MP Company.

    During the reading of the Honor Roll at the memorial service, a Casualty Streamer for each Battalion soldier Killed In Action in time of conflict, or died in the Line of Duty, while on active duty, and attached to the Battalion, (62 in all) were attached to their respective unit Guidon's. It was a very moving ceremony. Our appreciation goes out to those contributors who made this possible.

     Now through your continued assistance, our goal for the 2012 Reunion is to add all the authorized Company and Battalion Award & Campaign Streamers to our Guidon's and Battalion Colors.

     Soldiers of The Gauntlet have been serving their country and the cause of freedom throughout the world since January 1942.  Ours is a long and proud history of service and valor. Lest we forget. We ask that you help us proudly display these accomplishments. Our Colors are the torch we pass along to those who fill our ranks in the future. Any amount you can contribute will be greatly appreciated.

Campaign Streamers

     The streamer reflects campaign participation credit and is the campaign or service ribbon design authorized for the soldiers for that specific conflict or operation during the period. They are 2 3/4 inches wide by 36 inches in length. Organizations display the streamers on the colors for campaigns or service for which they have received campaign participation credit as shown on the unit's lineage and honors.

Decoration Streamers

     Decoration streamers indicate the unit has been awarded a unit decoration. Both foreign and U.S. decorations are reflected through the use of unit award streamers. In addition to the regular size unit award streamers for display by organizations authorized a distinguishing flag, unit award streamers (1 3/8 inches wide and 24 inches long) are displayed by separate units authorized a guidon. The inscription, normally location and/or date(s), is as indicated in the unit's lineage and honor statements.
