My wife’s uncle.  LOL!    I am not military, not going to ever try and claim such.   I sure get a kick out of people who stretch as far as they can to touch some one who has. 

My sisters are those, both grandparents served. 

Where do you draw the line of patriotism and a form of bragging?  Does that make sense?

I almost qualify for the "Always been deployed ribbon with the sad face devices...

But I had one assignment as an instructor (Read: Cush) so, missed that one.

Notice the colors??

Helped get my boss get promoted is brown...That's crap ;-)

never got a ribbon, ribbon...yellow...

Funny

Everyone on this website should get one, "Had to put up with Don, award" with a horsewhip device for each firing

How many would Shawn have???

I am a team player, but I made dang sure that nobody used me for their advancement.  I was and am still not afraid of going straight to the top and diming out somebody!

I've seen several of these type ribbon charts over the years, but I think this one is the best! LOL

And, sadly, (like the rest of us) you likely qualify for a couple of the things!
