    Am I correct that medals like bronze stars and good conduct were not displayed on a dress uniform, but indicated by the ribbons above the left breast pocket?
    Thanks!

    Since you guys know the answers to all my questions I'll fire one more......the Combat Infantryman Badge.....is it displayed on the Army dress uniform, yes, or no. If yes, where?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Mr. Slip.
    You must think I never quit.......but I'm learning things I should have asked my dad. Now I'd like to identity this:

    I wish I still had my DI catalogs From when I was a member of a insignia collecting society. I could have looked it up :(.
