Congrats Dad,I know it will be a proud moment when you put "your wings" on your son............ Are your wings sterling silver and the pin on type?......... 
Those were the type I received in 1955............ 
Big Teddy 
Yes they are the Silver Pin-ons. I captured them back later, until he is not in the "Training/Barracks Mode"
