"I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you—especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous Channel, and two hundred miles or so of land come broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly. As for you,—you'd forget me."

Phaleristics

edit

These are my father's decorations from 25 years in the Navy. This is here for that, and as a markup reference for me when adding ribbon racks for articles. Adding certain accoutrements can be especially challenging (for example, the stars on the SSBN Deterrent Patrol insignia), and I suspect this is the cause of the deficits that exist in many relevant articles. I will probably make a more elaborate subpage for this later.

On the topic of phaleristics (Chrome doesn't even realize that is a word), my favorite uniform is the Navy Service Dress Blues and my favorite decorations are the Distinguished Flying Cross (United States) and Navy Cross. Such a complex backstory and history to the former. I love pretty much any kind of polar medal too. In terms of foreign decorations, the Waterloo Medal and the Canadian Forces' Decoration are up there for me as well.
