At the time they were given to me, I didn't " get it"! He was Papa! I gave all his medals to My Son.
He has a Stratgegic Air Command Patch also.
And I know he was part of the Civil Air Patrol.
TThe CAP is closely linked with USAF with colonels as leaders and each region with various pilot assignments as liasons to the CAP. long ago and far away I was briefly a member but I have a memory of survival training in the woods in a Nebraska winter 😯
