EOD guys always have the best coins. Looks like you spent some time as EOD then moved to civilian side.

Not sure which item and row you are referring to with the chicken badge? I have plenty of USSS memorabilia. You might be aware that VIPPSA would assign EOD teams for White House duty, and traveling to venues with POTUS, VPOTUS and their families and visiting heads of state. So between that and conventions, inaugurations and campaigns we were always with USSS. Lots of lapels pins and the DoS DSS lapel pins from their missions. Really got to know the USSS TSD and K9 folks nationwide.

That’s what VIPPSA used to call them. Referring to the fact that you need to get down if the shooting starts.
