More importantly, however, the above photograph had to have been taken some time between his qualifying as a pilot?since he is wearing his pilots? wings?on November 26, 1969 and his promotion to First Lieutenant on November 7, 1970, since he is listed as a Second Lieutenant (see photograph below).

An issue is that the photo is not indicated to be dated.

The photo is black/white, not color.

The rank bar color would be a light brown for a 2LT and Silver for 1LT. With a BW photo it can be hard to tell without reflective reference points.

The caption in the library may not have either known the difference or kown the date the photo was taken.

If he is actually a 1LT in the phot, then the award is valid.

Left shoulder is not visible in the photo and the angle on the right does not provide a large amount of surface area to analyze the reflection.

Why did you have to come in here with your logic? You should know better than that.

I enjoy watching everyone sprinkle some salt on their shoe leather.

Too many time people see what they want to see and listen to what they choose to hear.
Then they complain when they get bit because of those actions.

Nice post, I'd forgotten that, or never knew it. At my age I couldn't tell you which.
