<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 550763, member: 36"]The ribbon still in its box is the Viet Nam ribbon, and I'm fairly sure of some of the others but not all. These cropped up in a junk lot. I have to resize some of the individual photos. The patent date on the ribbon bar holder indicates it was applied for in 1963 and granted in 1965 , so odds are all of the ribbons are from the Viet Nam era.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm pretty sure there's a Viet Nam combat ribbon, a Soldier's Medal and a Distinguished Flying Cross. These seem to have escaped into the wild without identification, and I figured if I knew what it would be easier to figure out who. My best guess is he was a chopper pilot.
