God bless the man. And the entire family. RIP. Well done.
Might be a Silver Star to the left of the obvious (to me, anyhow) Bronze Star at the top....
Your dad must have had a nice look’n ‘fruit cocktail’.
Although I served in the USMC, I can help with a few of your fathers medals. From top row, left to right;
Air medal (20 combat missions, each award).Purple heart (wound sustained in combat). Distinguished Flying Cross. Silver Star (Combat valor). Bronze Star (same). Unknown. National Defense medal.
Second row; Republic of Vietnam issued Medal of Valor. US Republic of Vietnam Service Medal. Second row, middle; Combat Infantry device, below it, two Avaitor Wings Devices. To the right on middle; US Korean Service medal and last of second row; UN Korea Service Medal.
I will let Army types correct me and/or fill in my blanks.
One way or the other, your father was a cut and dryed warrior, a man who’s service to our Country was heroic. I hope you are proud of him. I wish I’d known him.
WOW! So sorry to hear of the death of your father, but you must be so proud of his service to our country. Please thank your mom for her part in the sacrifice.
