My grandfather was laid to rest in December, and at his memorial service his medals were on display.  He served 25 years, but his CD did not have a bar.  He retired in 1964.  Is this correct, considering the period of time he was in?  FWIW he enrolled as an Able Seaman (signaller), then...

I just saw a story on the news that surprised me.  It was an interview with a military widow who's husband died earlier this year (the story did not say how), and he is interred at the National Military Cemetary.  She is upset because she is not being permitted to have a maple leaf engraved on...
