stratasfan Posted December 3, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2019 Do you have a better quality view of just the rack, perchance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy53 Posted December 3, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 3, 2019 Don't need one. Bottom Row, left to right: AF Longevity Service w/silver and bronze oak leaf clusters, Armed Forces Reserve Medal, and Small Arms Expert Marksman Ribbon. Second Row, left to right: WW II Victory, Army of Occupation, and National Defense Service Medal with oak leaf cluster. Third Row, left to right: EAME Campaign Medal with one or two service/campaign stars, American Theater Campaign Medal, and Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal. Fourth Row, left to right: Presidential Unit Citation, AF Outstanding Unit Award and Army Good Conduct. Fifth Row, left to right: Air Medal, Combat Readiness Medal, and AF Commendation Medal. Sixth Row, centered: Distinguished Flying Cross. The good colonel was a highly decorated command pilot, did at least four years in a SAC or ADC combat readiness role, served during Korea and Vietnam, held a Reserve Commission and probably was an Aviation Cadet upon entry into the Army Air Forces in WW II.
