Re: Service Stripes and Volunteer Troops

Some units received "Veteran Volunteer" status when re-enlisting for the duration. I do not recall ever reading about sleeve stripes designating time in service but some of the veterans bought small brass pins with the state name on it and wore that. Drop me an e-mail to riflepit@yahoo.com and I will send you a picture of one from WISC.
