Maybe traceable? With the Navy Good Conduct medal on there-- how many mustangs (or enlisted men) were awarded the NC, DSM and Navy/USMC-- for PTO service but not in for American Defense pre-war? Based on that I'm guessing the China Service is for the "extended service" post-War- or perhaps he didn't put the Amdef on the bar- but opted for the Philiippine medals among the 10 medals on there. Even has an Expeditions medal. Can you tell what the medal at the end isl?

Thanks,

i wonder if it's possible they started as an enlisted man and ended an officer? I have a Navy Admirals group where he started as an enlisted man in the army and retired an Admiral in the Navy, just a thought.

Not just a possibility, it's a definite. The Good Conduct Medal can only be awarded to enlisted...and officers can't become enlisted later

This set has made the rounds, I've had it for a while and proud to be the caretaker.

I'm seconding Brig on this. One of my favorite attributes sets I've seen on this page.

Didn't some enlisted, mostly senior enlisted, receive a Distinguished Service medal?

1 GCM implies not much more than one contract enlisted, especially in that era. I know of only one highly decorated Marine who did 20 years enlisted and earned only a single GCM...decades before WWII

That makes two of us, how is the project progressing?

Nice group. I'm leaning towards a Marine Corps General Officer, Naval Aviator who probably flew helicopters. I say helicopters due to the two Navy /Marine Corps Medals. Just a guess. Have read of helicopter pilots being awarded in Vietnam for non combat life saving missions.
