They are all out of order from what I can tell...but here is a try.
Korean Service/legion of merit/DON'T KNOW/nato medal/philippine liberation medal/united nations medal/republic of vietnam campaign medal/philippean independance medal??/distinguished flying cross/don't know/medal for humane action/don't know/rsv component achievment medal/purple heart/don't know/bronze star/air medal/american defense service/war on terrorism expeditionary/war on terrorism service/national defense.
Thats the best I could do.
As I gaze across the room to my recently retired husband's (AF 23 years)shadow box, I see many of the ribbons dishonored by General Chocolate. First of all, I notice that they are out of order, and he has mixed different branches of the military to make his shameful display. I find this disturbing and dishonoring to those who really do serve their country.
Disgraceful, isn't it?
No, that's actually one huge ribbon for a newly-approved medal, the Cluster[bleep] Medal, for outstanding achievement in FUBAR. I think Ray-Ray might actually be the first recipient. (I hear Katie Blanco has been put in as well, but her paperwork is, appropriately, I think, being held up in the bureaucracy.)
Thanks...
Chocolate Soldier looks like a lot of empty calories...
At least it has done us a favor and sterilized itself!
Yes, there is. But I believe it applies only to military and veterans. As a civilian, and if he's never been in the military, he's able to wear whatever he wants, as long as he's not trying to impersonate an officer........
Ah yes, Gov. Blanco. The woman who refused to send in the National Guard because she "didn't want to put good people in harms way". And now Mayor Nagin mocks the National Guard.
I think he has just declared himself Generalisimo.
"General" Ray Nagin AKA "The Chocolate Warrior"
double NAUGHT spy........
Sounds like he's pretending to be Wesley Clark.
I couldn't find a picture of the bottle but I remember drinking them in 1970s (and maybe even the 80s). Not sure where it was from, consider it maybe a southern version of Yoo-Hoo (that's primarily East Coast, right?).
My eyesights not too good, but it looks like a gay pride flag from here.
I see an expert marksman ribbon. Think he could handle a rifle without hurting himself?
It is Mardi Gras...known for costumes...
Well, I'll be damned! The sonovabitch does see himself as a thirdworld banana republic dictatorial general-in-chief.
Perhaps, like John Kerry, he owns a magic beret. And everyone knows that once you put one on, you enter the kingdom of Make Believe where anything is possible and even medals become just a state of mind if only you believe.
