Not so fast there ole buddy. I've been to Argentia and it's enough of a hole to maybe rate a medal
Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon (not a medal) - this is one that a US sailor may have received for service at Argentia or any posting outside the USA, however it was not authorized until 1987 so it wasn't in the discussion when I joked with that ex-USN type, though I did suggest that he should have received a medal for marrying the Nfld gal that he did. As she was listening to this conversation, he replied that she was reward enough for his time at Argentia.
