From the top, they are:

1. Air Force Commendation Medal

2. Air Force Achievement Medal

3. Joint Meritorious Unit Award

4. Meritorious Unit Award

5. AF Outstanding Unit Award with Valor Device

6. AF Good Conduct Medal

7. National Defense Service Medal

8. Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal

9. Global War On Terrorism Expeditionary Medal

10. Global War on Terrorism Service Medal

11. Armed Forces Service Medal

12. AF Overseas Ribbon Short

13. AF Overseas Ribbon Long

15. AF Longevity Service

16. USAF NCO PME Graduate Ribbon

17. Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon

The ones with oak leaves and stuff on them (devices) indicate that the wearer has been awarded them numerous times (one device per award). The gold V indicates valor.

That's a hell of a rack....

I am honored to view it! And even more, I am awed and respect the man who wears it. A great man. As is fitting to be married to a great lady.

What an awesome Rack, Karen! (((( and your husband's is pretty impressive too ;~D )))))

Anyone with a V device (for Valor) has a special place in my heart! (and so does his wife, the one who went through it all, but didn't get the medal)

Very nice rack but not what I pictured in my mind (dammit)...

I spent 10 years in the Australian Airforce and never received a single medal. I received letters of commendation from numerous people, including a USAF Colonel but no medals.

Recently, however, I found out the Australian government has approved a medal for those who served over their initial sign on period (me!). I have to apply to get the medal, which I'm doing at the moment.

Now all I gotta find myself is a chest to pin it on
