Got this today from one of my local pickers. Medal bar seems to be prior to Korean service???

 

Could be that ribbon bars came from another vet??

 

All came together in a ziplock bag, with no other info.

Hi John,

 

A very nice grouping!

 

I believe the sewn ribbons are from the end of his career.

The individual bars no doubt grew along with his service.

 

The medals do not reflect what he earned in Korea.
