Can someone tell me a little bit about my dad’s ribbons and medals?
Like most former active duty military personnel, my dad is not loose-lipped about his military service.
He’s shared some little stories here and there, but I’ve never pressed him for more of the “grit” because I can see physically that it’s a little hard for him to talk about.
All I know is that he was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne and served in Desert Storm. The few of his military buddies I’ve met -and my godfather who actually met him in jump school- orbit around him in a natural way and speak about him still with the utmost respect as someone who was a fair and diligent leader and always tried his best to meet people where they are.
Thank y’all so much for any or all input or commentary y’all have!
