I found this RARE 3-combat-jumps set of paratrooper wings pinned inside the case of this medal, many years ago early 1990s? I assume this US Army paratrooper jumped into Sicily, Normandy and Holland (“a bridge too far”), but that’s just a guess. I don’t need to point out that the accompanying item shows that he was injured in action. Nice fairly early example of this medal, given the engraved number. If you catch my drift.
