A Walking Stick for a American Hero
Permalink  
 

I received ( and thank goodness just recently completed) a commission to carve a stick for a retired officer from the US Army. He requested that I incorporate some of his badges, and other achievements in the carvings. So I had to carve mini badges and ribbons, and unit patches.
It included: Master Jumpwings w/combat star ( Panama)
Air Assault badge
Pathfinder
CIB ( Combat Infantry Badge) with second award star ( two separate conflicts)
Ranger Tab
2nd Bn/ 75th Ranger Regiment combat patch ( Panama)
1st Cav Division combat patch ( Iraq )
Majors gold oakleaf cluster
four rows of decorations, including a Bronze Star and 2 Purple Hearts
and finally his initials.....whew!!!






Thanks for looking.
