Thank you TJ Mahan for posting the information about what those medals in this logo are. Appreciate the identification of them. The only one I did know however was the Korea Service Medal because my father is a Retired U.S. Army Sergeant who served in Korea as a Front Line Combat Medic in 1952-1953. It is "The Forgotten War" too, as our country never "officially" declared it or described it as a "War", it was known as a "Police Action"! However - it was and still isn't officially "over" either - as in 1953 both sides only declared a "Cease Fire" and stopped the active mobile fighting of force-to-force combat. Technically - the Korean Conflict ("Police Action" - aka. WAR) is still being waged. People don't realize we still have military service personnel killed there today along the DMZ at the 38th Parallel between the North and South Koreas! However - it was Communisms' FIRST Defeat! There is still a South Korea today thanks to our U.S. Service personnel.
