January 5Jan 5 #1 I picked up a group of medals from a shop in Northwest Missouri not far from Ft Leavenworth, KS. Among the group was the National Order of Vietnam. According to Wikipedia it was, "considered the highest honor that could be bestowed upon an individual by the Republic of Vietnam government. The decoration was created in 1950 and was awarded to any person who performed "grandiose works, remarkable deeds, exhibited bravery, or for those who have honored and served the country by lofty virtues and outstanding knowledge." During the Vietnam War, the National Order of Vietnam was bestowed on several members of the United States military, most of whom were senior military and political advisors to the South Vietnamese government"
January 6Jan 6 #2 5th class is Knight class. Looks like yours is missing the rosette from the ribbon that would have made it 4th class
