If anyone wanted to collect ribbons, badges, and medals, the Air Force is the place.
I had a guy working for me where he was detailed to do presidential support. After Clintoon flew in and out, he got miffed when he did not get a letter of appreciation. So he wrote a whine letter to our embassy at Bonn, Germany.
The embassy wrote him back, but he PCS'd. I suppose it was his thank you letter...I forward it to him. A memento for his I love me wall.
