Unref date July 2008 Investment in overseas property , also referred to as International Real Estate , has become increasingly popular amongst the population of wealthier countries. Such property is usually located in a hotter climate to that of the buyer s native country, and the most sought after properties are located in tourism areas, usually large cities or coastal resorts. Such investment is usually welcomed by the foreign local community, as the injection of cash usually benefits the region. However some countries regions have legislation which prevents foreigners owning such investment holiday property. Many from Northern Europe and the UK have bought property in Southern European countries, most notably Spain . Such property is predominantly used as either a dedicated retirement home or holiday rental property. Over the last couple of years, there has been an increase in the number of people investing in Eastern Europe . The regions stability coupled with affordable property prices make the area an attractive proposition, especially as such investments are likely to yield big returns should the country then gain membership to the EU . The advent of the internet has also contributed to the number of people buying abroad. Before property websites existed, the search for the perfect foreign property was expensive and exhaustive. However today a number of sites provide information and property searches, removing previous barriers to entry and offering a degree of choice before really spending any money.

Image OverSeasBars.jpg thumb 425px right Overseas Service Bars File ASU Sleeve.jpg thumb Current Army Service Uniform Overseas Service Bars 4 Years Total An Overseas Service Bar is an accoutrement of the United States Army dress uniform which is displayed as an embroidered gold bar worn horizontally on the right sleeve of the Army Service Uniform Green Service Uniform Class A uniform and the Army Service Uniform . The original concept of an Overseas Bar began in the World War I First World War with what was known as an Overseas Chevron . An Overseas Chevron was an inverted chevron patch worn on the lower left sleeve on the standard Army dress uniform. The Overseas Chevron was identical to the Wound Chevron which was worn on the opposite right sleeve. During World War II , the Overseas Chevron was redesignated as the Overseas Bar and the patch adopted its current design of a horizontal bar. For those who had performed overseas service in both the First and Second World Wars, the Overseas Bar and Chevron were worn simultaneously. By the time of the Vietnam War , the Overseas Service Bar had adopted its current name and the patch was now worn on the lower right sleeve, instead of the left.
