RedMaestro Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 It's an error in the translation. The record card clearly reads female. Not to worry, it happens sometimes Nice award! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Noel, thank you for taking and processing these photos for me... school keeps me busy and you do what would normally take me about 45 minutes to do. Thanks Red! This award has a lot of pluses. It is early, to a medic, and a female. Also, because only the CSM is listed, it is a complete grouping- no missing awards. (I added the VoG for the image). Ricky- I dont know about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyden R. Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Now if he would only let me mount these medals and display them. But oh No! They must live in little baggies, in boxes. grrrr...... (Yes, I do know how to mount medals without damaging them or stressing them. I have all the tools. And a scanner so I can scan the booklets too. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
