I’ve googled most of the ribbons but was unable to find the middle left and top left ones.

Man does a tremendous amount of work to honor vets in his community.

Edit: oh fuck that’s a silver star

    It’s a little weird for him to be a supply officer (shoulder boards) and have a Seal pin. Lower two rows are out of order. Seal pins started in 1970, but he has one from his relatively short stint (only an LTJG).

      What uniform is this on? Pretty sure the Navy never had one with soft shoulder boards in navy blue.
