A recent trade . 

Great valor group to A f-80 pilot who returned from Korea and was killed in a F-89 While testing engines in the all weather interceptor.
officially engraved SS PH AM . And odd privately engraved SS. Interned in Arlington cemetery.

He shot down a north Korean YAK jet in Nov 1950 . I believe the odd engraved may have been locally engraved or privately done for him at an Hamilton AFB in California?

Some articles 

Only about 325 or so men received the 3rd award of the Combat badge  an exclusive club ! 

I found this online . Only 173rd AB .

I am not sure any arrowheads were awarded for Vietnam ? 

Here’s info on incident.

Probably a naval medical officer, possibly stationed at Kiautschou during the 1905 war. 

I would think ? Were any german ships in the area of any of the engagements?

I think a naval officer?
