That's the mark for Aviation Machinists Mate speciality. Basically, an aircraft mechanic for all intents and purposes -
That thing is just.....well, god awful. Donate it to the museum.....oh, my head. (Trying not to rant about that.....trying.....) Very likely this is a put together for pagent use.

Call of duty, Bar NONE, is the best one out there. Exactly what you are looking for, not only nice, color pics, but details on the medals themselves as well. It reads well, too! Good luck!

The newspaper with the heart really 'makes' this IMO.

Bingo! I knew it was one or the other. I concur 100 percent sir. Zero defects/politically correct mentality prevails. Sad but true. -
