It's been some time since any examples have been posted on this thread. Here is a new example I just acquired. The pair was awarded to a 5.5 victory navy ace who was killed in an accident taking off from the USS Enterprise on October 31, 1944. He earned his victories in 1943 and 1944 with VF-21 and VF-20.

 

Since he was killed in an accident he did not earn a Purple Heart medal. His Distinguished Flying Cross was awarded to him in 1943 which is why it is not engraved.

"I have only two men out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (Message sent by 1st Lt. Clifton B. Cates. USMC, 96th Co., Soissons, 19 July 1918 - later 19th Commandant of the Marine Corps 1948-1952)
