Wow Ed! Another great one Ed. This is the first "general service" award citation I have seen...
Basically, he is a good guy and did a good job over a certain amount of time. |

What I find unusual here is the fact that the attachment is an old-style brass one. Is it a replacement? Because to me it does not look correct for the era.

I'm certainly not an expert on suspensions, but I can guarantee that brass suspensions were handed out this late. For instance, both of my 1969 CMM's to Bulgarians and my 1971 CMM to a Mongolian are on a brass suspension.

I think it could be very easy to become more fixated on suspensions than anyone at the time ever was. Suspensions are just that, suspensions. I suspect they were seen as functional items, not as objects of manic obsession.
