4STARCHRIS Posted January 15, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 15, 2007 can anyone describe all the ribbons on his ribbon bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPage Posted January 20, 2007 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2007 What I want to know is: what the heck is that Brevet Medal-looking ribbon, just behind his MoH? Must be some obscure state award or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be some obscure state award or something? Michael, The second ribbon is for the Philippine Medal of Honor. While it isn't in the "proper" order, I doubt anyone would have ever had the cojones to tell Skinny he wasn't wearing those awards in proper order.

4STARCHRIS Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted January 20, 2007 You are correct. Thsi is what the medal looks like for those who may never have seen it. Does anyone know what the others are? Thanks for the reply. Glad you stopped by to see it. 4starchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPage Posted January 20, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 20, 2007 Oh that's right--I dimly recall that one now...Yeah, it threw me off because all his other foreign awards were down below. Nice ribbon too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason G Posted January 20, 2007 Share #6 Posted January 20, 2007 I'll give it a shot, altho I admit, I'd never have gotten that PI MOH. Very cool shot. MOH, PI MOH, DSC, DSM w/palm, Mexican Border service (?), WWI victory, WWI Occupation Germany, American Defense, Asiatic Pacific Campaign, WWII Victory, PI Liberation....and the rest? "High Foriegn awards LOL". Not the faintest clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPage Posted January 21, 2007 Share #8 Posted January 21, 2007 Evidently the blue/white/red ribbon second from last is the Philippine Resistance Medal. If I understood foreign award precedence I could probably figure out the rest. I would imagine the red one is a grade of the Legion of Honor with some sort of device. I read that the name for the Philippine MoH is actually the Medal of Valor(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4STARCHRIS Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share #9 Posted January 21, 2007 Mpage, Thanks for the reply. You are correct. Is is called the Philippine Medal of Valor. If memory serves me right only 4 were ever awarded to American Generals/Admirals. General of the Army Ike General of the Army MacArthur Wainwright Fleet Adm Nimitz 4starchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCR79 Posted January 25, 2007 Share #10 Posted January 25, 2007 His next to last ribbon is a NY CSC...I saw a picture in the Strandberg book showing Wedermeyer (sp?) re-awarding his medals....He had a NY CSC pinned on his shirt Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted January 25, 2007 Share #11 Posted January 25, 2007 Unless I am mistaken, the last ribbon witht he eagle device on it is for service in the connect national guard. The only reason I know is that I have a uniform with one on it as well. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have never seen a Wainwright uniform with this on it. 4starchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted January 25, 2007 Share #14 Posted January 25, 2007 I just checked my uniform, and it is the same ribbon, definitely for CT. Nat. Guard Service. Also, the NY CSC is the New York Conspicious Gallantry Cross given to NY vets after WWII. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY Militaria Posted January 26, 2007 Share #17 Posted January 26, 2007 Ok, I had only seen them in the hands of WWII vets, so that would explain my reasoning for it. When was it issued until? Or is it still awarded? Thanks! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted January 26, 2007 Share #18 Posted January 26, 2007 The New York Conspicuous Service Cross is still awarded. The WWI version had the war dates on the obverse; the WWII version had no dates. That undated design continues, but now its a cheesy rhodium plated piece. Many of the WWI and WWII version are traceable, but the data base only has name, medal number and year of issue. Wainwright received the WWII version (#3002) in 1946.
