    Way more than "cool" going on there
  • Shallow Basin said:
    I'm surprised they don't list it in the description, but this is the Army Medal of Honor.
  • Phil Stripling said:
    The item below the medal is the rosette, a six-sided pin that can be worn on civilian clothes. If I understand correctly, the ribbon shown above the medal is upside down. It should be worn with 2 stars on top, 3 below. The medal of honor is no longer pinned to the tunic, as was the case when this medal was made.

    Over 45 years ago, as a brand new 2nd Lieutenant, I exchanged salutes with a Major walking down the sidewalk at Aberdeen Proving Ground. As we approached one another, I noticed a light blue ribbon with small stars on his uniform. I gave him the sharpest salute I could. I'm sure that he forgot me after five paces. I still remember that moment.

    "Let His Loyalty and Devotion be a Lesson to Us All" Bobby was a Skye Terrier whose master, John Gray, died in 1858. Bobby was so devoted to his master that for fourteen years Bobby lay on the grave in Greyfriars Cemetery , leaving only for food. Baroness Angelia Georgina Burdett-Coutts, President of the Ladies Committee of the RSPCA, visited Edinburgh on several occasions to see Bobby. The Baroness received permission from the City Council to erect a granite fountain with a statue of Bobby on top by the graveyard as a lasting memorial to the loyal little terrier Bobby. The original sculpture is in the Museum of Edinburgh. Greyfriars Bobby -- Download the classic 1912 book by Eleanor Atkinson from the ManyBooks.net website. (Digitized by Project Gutenberg.)
