This is the DFC, the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Not quite what you described, I'm still looking. This came from armyawards.com, where all military awards are listed.

You may be right about photographic license, but I'm not giving up...

Yeah, and the medal itself is what's throwing me. None of the high-order medals have the color scheme you describe, so I am really thinking here that the photo shows blue where it should show red for the DSC.

I actually sell a certain brand of scrapbooking stuff. I'm going to pull out the Nave, Marines and Air Force ones tomorrow and look to see what medals they show. I'm curious about it now. I went on the Grunt's site and found that the rank insignia that I have stickers for is Staff Sgt. I want the pages about KJ to be accurate. I will be making my own Capt. Bars. Do they have special arm insignias like SSgt, etc, or just the bars?

Army officers have special branch insignia...KJ is Transportation Corps, or Quartermaster, right? I'll look some more...

Here is the definitive link for all service ribbons:

http://www.defenselink.mil/specials/ribbons/Army1.html

Once there, you can go to all of the service sites.

TRansportation -- MCT if that helps. Although lately his addy includes HRT?? I'm telling you, if the military could come up with any more acronyms I don't know what I'd do! LOL! It took me this long to figure out that LSA stands for Life Support Area!

I think his units sig looks a lot like the Detroit Red Wings Hockey team logo -- at least that's what's on his unit pic in the lower corner.
