A bit of trivia for you. The Krag is the rifle holding the medal to the ribbon on the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal. The only reason I know this is I was asked what the rifle was during a Marine of the Quarter Board when I was a young LCpl.

I was soldier of the quarter once even though I was a Specialist/6 because we weren’t considered NCOs.
