| The medals above fail to depict the extent
of the awards presented to Colonel Ted Guy. They do not contain

Distinquished Service: Oak leaf cluster Silver Star: oak leaf cluster Distinquished Flying Cross: 5 oak leaf clusters Bronze Star: With "V" device: 2 oak leaf clusters. Without "V" device: oak leaf cluster Purple Heart: 3 oak leaf clusters Air Medal: 13 oak leaf clusters. |
