corrections to the list of decorations

The GIF of the ribbons shows a Silver Star with 2 gold stars, which is correct. The text below that says he has 2 oak leaf clusters, which is not correct. Oak leaves is an Army device. Pruitt was a Marine so he would have the gold stars as shown in the picture. Also, the WW1 Victory Medal shows 3 campaign stars, but the text below says he has a silver service star. Silver would denote 5 campaigns. So which is it? Did he have 3 campaigns or 5? By the way, it is not a service star. The stars on that particular medal tells us how many different campaigns he participated in during the conflict. So the text in the box should say campaign stars, not service stars. 2605:6000:3FC0:45:C970:BEB8:60A6:742 (talk) 19:15, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
