Original Items: Only One Set Available. This uniform set is not only appealing to the eye but is also of great historical significance. Despite appearing to be a standard Major-General's Class-A uniform set, there are a few distinctive features that set it apart from others. The uniform belonged to Major General Theodore F. Bogart, who at this time was Commander, U.S. Southern Command. The uniform itself is in excellent condition and boasts impressive devices and a “theater made” ribbon rack, making it truly stand out.

During this time, General Bogart was Commander of the US Southern Command where he started “Operation Friendship” within the Central American area, mostly Panama as tensions were rising. Time magazine had an article mentioning him too. "Major General Theodore F. Bogart, 55. Lanky General Bogart got to know and like Panama when he was stationed there as a lieutenant in 1941. Now, as the man who might have to order U.S. troops to fire on Panamanians if violence threatens, he is sponsoring a remarkable “Operation Friendship”, using his troops to stage events that bring together Panamanians and Americans."

While only the service coat is named via name tag and initials “FB” written on the interior, we are absolutely confident that it was in fact the General’s Uniform and came out of a small museum collection. All items are in excellent condition, with no visible signs of extensive wear or damage.

The jacket boasts several unique features that set it apart from other military jackets. The obvious General star devices on the epaulets are particularly noteworthy, as they indicate the 2nd highest rank possible in the US Army and are just beautiful. A medal ribbon bar is also present on the jacket, which would have been used to display the General's various military honors and awards, which all appear to be correct and present.

A wonderful, historical uniform set that comes with research and more than ready for further research and display.
