Paul R Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 hallmark on pilot badgeIt must have taken a lot of force to do that damage to those insignia. Perhaps damaged caused by the forces of a parachute strap while the canopy is deploying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) could have been anything. a difficult landing or a bad automobile accident? who knows! also, the wreath is pretty warped. in any case it's certain that the guy survived an event that damaged his awards. probably pretty lucky Edited March 2, 2009 by Eric Stahlhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
