Mission To Iran SSI worn by H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Sr., father of Stormin' Norman, as a colonel in Iran in World War II. Note the orientation of the SSI as he is wearing it is different from the way it is shown in the photo which is the only way I have seen it oriented online and in reference books. Either he is wearing it incorrectly, or the references are wrong.
