Question about the Vietnam War Sticker.

Question

My husband served in Vietnam from Oct 1966 to Nov 1967 with Hotel Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines, 3rd Marine Division. How much of that (besides the dates) will the Sticker accept?

EDIT: Ok, I found https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Vietnam_War but I'm still not quite sure how to do it. Do I only use his time in Vietnam or his full service time? Add other units outside Vietnam? etc.

Answer 1

For service outside of Vietnam, I would use the Veterans Recognition Sticker.

If you want to see one in action, there's one on my page

Thank you.

Answer 2

Vietnam sticker should only have his Vietnam War time, rank, units, etc.  The Veteran Recognition can be used for other times, full service time, etc.

Thank you. My question now is, how do I write the unit so that it shows up? I've tried different ways, but it doesn't show up. Do I have to put just 3rd Marine Division for the sticker and the detail of the unit in the biography?

The 'text' field can have anything entered that you want shown.  'Branch' probably should be the branch of service they were in, but there are no 'units' parameter on this sticker, so I would add anything in the 'text' field that you want to be seen in the sticker.  When you have it entered, make sure to select the Preview so you can see what it will look like before you save it.  The name will be shown at the beginning when it is saved.

I would add as much info into the biography, also
