WW2 1st Div. Marine |

I thought it would be interesting to show you some pictures of soldiers wearing their ribbons or medals. I wanted to also show what the ribbons were and what they looked like in color. You may or may not take notice but most of these guys have their ribbons on in the wrong order. Click on any photo to enlarge. |
