GIl Sanow Posted November 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 12, 2020 A friend recently gave me his father-in-law's USAF uniform to sell, but I cannot ID all of the ribbons on it. He was a Chief Warrant Officer & Pilot, apparently serving from the end of WW2 through Vietnam. The ribbons are shown here as they appear on the uniform, but I suspect some are out of proper order. Here is what I think I see: 1. – Bronze Star – USAF Commendation 2. – Army Commendation – Dist Flying Cross (2 Plms) — Army Good Conduct ( ) 3. – Am. Defense Svce – WW2 Victory – Vietnam Svce (*) 4. – Nat’l Defense Svce (*) – Korea Svce — ????? 5. – ?????? (2Plms) – ????? – WW2 Occupation Svce 6. – UN Svce Korea — ?????? -- RVN Medal Any help IDing those marked as ????? will be appreciated.

Allan H. Posted November 12, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 12, 2020 Row two is the Army Commendation Medal, the USAF Outstanding Unit Award ribbon, and the Good Conduct. Row four is the National Defense, Korea Service and the Vietnam Presidential Unit Citation Row five is the USAF Longevity ribbon, the USAF Small Arms Expert Marksman ribbon and the Army of Occupation. Row six is the Kore UN, Vietnam Gallantry Cross and the Vietnam Campaign Medal. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to be serving BEFORE Pearl Harbor for that medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIl Sanow Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted November 13, 2020 I suspect Row 3, #1 should have been American Campaign instead of American Defense. Perhaps he bought the wrong ribbon G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
