As it turns out Mr. Coomer passed away before he could be interview. Furthermore not much of his correspondence survived. As it turns out the lot I have has letters,post cards etc. Great at showing how he corresponded with family and friends. That is also his large formal portrait,

Nice grouping with a great story. But there IMO seems to be a problem with the ribbon with the 2 oak leaf clusters on the Air Medal box. It appears to be a Navy Expeditionary Medal ribbon. I recognized it because I have personally earned two of those for service during Beirut Lebanon. The Navy ribbon has yellow stripes and the Air has gold stripes. I have a feeling someone made a mistake buying a replacement???
thanks

I took a look at it and your 100% correct. I got this as part of an auction lot and with pictures and docs showing the two oak leaf clusters I figured it went together. The to ribbons are quit similar. There was some navy items in the lot so I mixed it in now really realizing it. will drop that one out. Thank you for the good catch and your Service.
