    Great picture. A blessing to have raised such honorable and brave sons.
    Set a great example, teach ones children to be honest, stalwart and brave and you get such fine results..- --Tyr

    And I don't pretend for a moment to know rankings and medals - but sure seems like a fair amount of those medals pinned on your boys!

    yeah....I told them not to do it but do you think for one minute they would listen to their father??? NOPE. I suppose that's what happens when you teach your kids to think for themselves.

    I think that's admirable and then some. No doubt they saw achievements of Dad and followed suit.

    The two middle boys each has had more than one tour in the sandbox. Couple of Bronze Stars with "V" device (each of them) and a couple without (each).

    Wow, a quick search, and damn!

    The Bronze Star Medal with the "V" device to denote heroism is the fourth highest military decoration for valor. Although a service member may be cited for heroism in combat and be awarded more than one Bronze Star authorizing the "V" device, only one "V" may be worn on each suspension and service ribbon of the medal.
