My cousin.
« on: May 29, 2016, 10:49:37 PM »
Haven't seen my cousin Darryl in a few years. Got this from mom today. Army and then Marines.  Ran the 50 in a'stan as a marine corps sniper from what I recall. Still in as a lifer.

Any of you guys able to decipher his accomplishments from the hardware?

Mix of Army and Marine decorations
He's been around a long time judging from the bottom row...

Yeah, he's only about 4 years younger than me so that makes him mid 40s and he was in early.

On his right breast, the big device on top is the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge. Also has the Presidential Unit Citation (blue ribbon, top row, right breast). On the left breast, at top is the Combat Action Badge over basic jump wings. Top ribbon on that side appears to be the Bronze Star. Like Don said, he seems to have been around a while. I believe the bottom 3 ribbons are from Desert Storm.
