These are some photos I took of my Grandfather's Marine patches and medals while he was in WWII and Korea.

While I'm not in the Military, I thought you guys would appreciate and enjoy these.

I like that good job!

I get a kick out of that picture of him.

You might want to get WWII era Sergeant chevrons, though. Marine chevrons didn't have crossed rifles in WWII. You can get the correct chevrons at the Medals of America website. They're not very expensive, and that would make the display perfect.
