Description

The shoulder patches represent the following, left to right, top to bottom: 28th Anti-Aircraft Battalion, Officer Candidate Gunnery School Camp Wallace, Texas Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP), University of Oklahoma Norman, Oklahoma The 103rd Infantry "Cactus" Division, Camp Howze, Texas 411th Infantry Regiment, Anti-Tank (AT) Company and the European Theater of Operations (ETO) France, German, Austria, Italy The 45th Infantry "Thunderbird" Division Dachau, Germany The ribbons and stars represent various campaigns and battles. They were never explained to us. In any event, it seemed like one continuous campaign and battle to us. I've since discovered that the ribbons are for the following campaigns: Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, Central Europe. One of the stars is for the Battle of the Bulge. The single hash mark stands for the highest rank I attained: Private First Class (Pfc) The rifle with wreath is the Combat Infantryman medal. At Camp Howze I earned the same medal on the firing range (but without a wreath) as an Expert Rifleman—the highest rating. Copyright
