Honor those who earned the Combat Action Ribbon in Vietnam.
This premium t-shirt honors United States Marines who earned the Combat Action Ribbon (CAR) during combat operations in Vietnam—warriors who fought in one of the most intense and challenging conflicts in Marine Corps history. For those who served in Vietnam or support these combat veterans, this is your tribute.
The Combat Action Ribbon
The Combat Action Ribbon is awarded to members of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard who have actively participated in ground or surface combat. For Marines, the CAR represents direct engagement with the enemy—being under hostile fire, returning fire, or participating in combat operations where the risk of enemy contact was imminent. It is a badge of honor that distinguishes those who have faced the ultimate test of combat.
Vietnam: A Marine's War
From 1965 to 1975, United States Marines conducted combat operations throughout South Vietnam's I Corps—the northernmost and most dangerous military region. Marines fought in legendary battles including Hue City, Khe Sanh, Con Thien, and the A Shau Valley. They conducted search and destroy missions, defended combat bases, fought in dense jungle and urban environments, and faced a determined enemy in brutal conditions. Marines who served in Vietnam demonstrated extraordinary courage, endurance, and the warrior spirit that defines the Corps.
Combat Veteran Legacy
Marines who earned the CAR in Vietnam faced ambushes, booby traps, intense firefights, and the challenges of guerrilla warfare in unforgiving terrain. They carried on the legacy of Marines who fought at Belleau Wood, Iwo Jima, and Chosin Reservoir, proving once again that when America calls, Marines answer. These combat veterans returned home having served with honor in one of the most difficult wars in American history.
