Sadly after my grandfather passed away, my step-grandmother threw out everything that was important to the family, including everything that had to do with military. I've slowly been piecing information together and finally got a hold of his discharge record. Now I want to order copies of all his medals, insignia, and badges. The medals listed on his record are pretty clear. It's some of the other stuff I'm confused about. I hope this is helpful information, can anyone help me compile a list of any other badges and/or insignia he may have had? A big thanks to anyone that can help.
