    Greetings ladies and gents. I am brand new to this forum and look forward to learning a lot here, and perhaps even contributing.

    I recently got some of my grandfather's old military awards, he was Army Signal Corps during the war. I have them all identified, save for one. It looks like this:

    Any help that could be afforded would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Lippert

    Slip, that's downright amazing dude. I am almost certain its the one. What's funny now is that it completely blows away the family story of my grandfather's war service. Supposedly he was only in Puerto Rico... this should get very interesting (still waiting on the DD214).

    I suppose this could be from another family member and over the years was lumped in with my grandfather's stuff. I know I had a great uncle who served in the Pacific.

    What a great mystery! Thanks guys!
