    Cockade decoration

    I found a Quilled medicine wheel done in the Vietnam Campaign Medal colors
    at the Rocky Mt. National Rendezvous

    I added it to the Cockade on my knit bonnet





    It sure sets it off nice has much personal meaning and is lighter than most clan badges

    That sir, is an incredible find. I'll bet there are lots of vets who'd enjoy one too...like maybe the boss of this place.

    Maybe you could connect the artist with this forum?

    I will see if I can run down an address of the young lady that does the quill work

    If I find it I will post it here

    she is from South Dakota , I see her each year at the RMNR
    She gives each vet that buys one a big hug and kiss on the cheek for their service
