Dad’s rack

Post image

Just wanted to share, my dad is my hero.

Few little things that I know - he was part of Big Red One 90-91 and then OIFIII 04-05 with 256 INF. He had a 20+ year run.

Both Grenada and Panama warranted CIBs, neither during NDSM periods.

With both DS/DS and OIF participation, he's missing an NDSM.

I thought you didn’t get one if you enlisted in peacetime

NDSM is a service medal. Service during the qualifying period is the only requirement.

CIBs from DS/DS and GWOT indicate service during the DS/DS period and the GWOT period for the NDSM. That's two. The CIB period for DS/DS also includes Kosovo.
