Kent Mathieu, owner of the Taipei Air Station blog, has posted two ten-minute videos of his walk-through at the American Footsteps in Taiwan exhibition in Taipei. You can view them HERE.
George, I'm not sure what it was called, but most of us who served at USTDC received them prior to our departure. There was a Chinese inscription on the lid of the case that probably gave the official name. I always called it the GEMO medal (for Generalissimo Chiang Kai-chek). It may have been called the Chinese-American Friendship Medal or something like that.
The two small pins that were placed in the corners of the presentation case weren't part of the set. I think Scott probably placed them there for the display. The round badge next to the presentation case was the one that all of us in USTDC wore on our uniforms.

Don,
What was that red box with pins/medals/ribbons in the video presented to you for? Real nice looking.
Thanks,
George
