Way more than "cool" going on there

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.
