Parachute Badge:
The parachute badge(Jump Wings) worn by SGM.(R) Basil Plumley as shown in the photo in post #19 are the ARVN wings. The slight difference between the French and ARVN parachute badges is that the French wings have golden folige(similar to the olive branch held in the right talon of the eagle inThe Great Seal of The United States) located on both sides of the star at the bottom of the chute....TK
PS. The SGM was 92 years old on Jan.1,2012 and has 5 combat jumps, 4 in WWII and 1 in Korea with the 187th RCT.
