Marion and Joe,
Very interesting!
I have all my medals in a shadow box on the wall of our living room. They include the CIB, Captains bars, 7th Infantry crossed rifles, Bronze Star with 3 OLCs, European-Med theatre with 6 campaign stars and bronze arrowhead for D day landing. Germany Occupation medal, American Theatre medal, Presidential unit citation w/OLC, good conduct medal, WWII victory medal, Bronze star medal with 3 OLCs, French Croix de Guerre, 4 overseas stripes, 3rd Division patch, and my dog tags,
They warm my heart as I pass them on my way to bed!
I left N.J. in 1991 to move to Florida so I never knew about the license plate award.
