TRR Posted May 7, 2013 Share #5 Posted May 7, 2013 It may be worth breaking them down into smaller groups of separate pictures so they are easier to see and list the identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got da Penny Posted May 11, 2013 Share #10 Posted May 11, 2013 CJ ... Maybe this will help out. Carey That way members may use the LETTER row & then cross to the NUMBER row to the exact rosette. B/11 I think is the Distinquished Service Medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRR Posted May 11, 2013 Share #13 Posted May 11, 2013 Here is my best shot. I would still look these up using the rosette in hand to see the details better. I had no idea there was so many until I went looking some up...wow.

Jack's Son Posted May 11, 2013 Share #18 Posted May 11, 2013 Okay guys, here is the website! If the ULR doesn't work the first, try it again.

USAFnav Posted May 11, 2013 Share #22 Posted May 11, 2013 Thanks for that link Jack's Son. I've seen it before. I like rosettes, I wish folks would wear them more often. I have one for the Air Medal and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, both of which I've earned, but I never wear them! Somewhere on this forum, I posted a quote about how rosettes are made.....

Jack's Son Posted May 11, 2013 Share #23 Posted May 11, 2013 .......... I like rosettes, I wish folks would wear them more often...... Pete I agree Pete, I think they are a very understated way of show your service, and educating others as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRR Posted May 12, 2013 Share #24 Posted May 12, 2013 If they made one for the ICM, I would consider it but then I would have to have cards made up to just hand people instead of explaining it all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
