I like your article and I like the purpose of your blog, SGT (Join to see) Nicely done! Like you, I received little, if any formal orientation on unit awards, or any individual awards or other items of wear on the uniform for that matter. Fortunately, I served as an OCS tactical (training) officer and as a detailed inspector general. I had to learn a lot about the wear of the uniform and like you, I developed a personal interest in the subject.
Also like you, I initially learned that the "Wheat grows up, not down". I later learned that they’re actually laurel leaves, not wheat sheaves!
Here’s a chart that describes the various U.S. unit awards by branch of service.
I received one; the Joint Meritorious Unit Award.

Like everybody who served in Nam, I got the Vietnamese Gallantry Cross w/Palm unit award. My battalion got a Valorous Unit Award in the summer of '69 for actions a year before I got there, but when Maj. Colin Powell was the S3. . . .
