His medals
The Air Police Staff Sergeant is wearing the Air Force Cross, which ranks second only to the Medal of Honor for combat awards for valor. He also wears, rather oddly, the Distinguished Flying Cross and an Air Medal, making him extremely highly decorated. The most likely explanation for the DFC and Air medal is that he was an enlisted aviator prior to his service in the military police and simply chose not to wear his aviators wing. The Yellow ribbon located far left, bottom row is the American Defense Medal, which means he had joined the military no later than December 6th, 1940. He also is wearing the Republic of Vietnam Presidential Unit Citation and Korean Presidential Citation so we can surmise that he is veteran of both these wars. -unsigned anon by User:WinterPark1701


 * I did a very close examination of the screenshot of this Sergeant and you are correct about all but the last ribbon. It is a brown and yellow ribbon which resembles the China Service Medal.  I too thought it was the American Defense Service Medal until I did an extreme closeup of it and saw the ribbon was missing the multi-colored stripes and instead was simply brown on yellow.  Thanks also for IDing the DFC on him (mistaken previously as the USAF Outstanding Unit Award).  a final note, extra info is great, but extensive material about non-Trek related items (such as the Medal of Honor which has never been mentioned in any episode) tends to clutter articles and also tends to get removed. -FC 03:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
