First pic (L. to R.): Air Medal (AM), Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC), Army Commendation Medal (ARCOM).
In picture the red medal is a Good Conduct Medal (GCM). It is only awarded to enlisted soldiers for each term of service (now every three years after initial enlistment).

Second sentence relates to pic #2.

The navigation computer he brought home with his flying suit from Vietnam when he retired I have this suit. Don't know what he did in Vietnam maybe fly Generals.
I wonder if anyone can find out the Distinguished Flying Cross writing about what he did? I was toll about flying over the mountins?
I don't know of any DFC database. It is significant award but there were a lot awarded.
There are a few sites with all MOH and DSC citations and SOME lower awards.
I'll check.
