ARTIFACT:
This is a very cool 1954 graduation jump wing of Chesley F. "Buzz" Harriman. Major Harriman was born in 1936 and eventually was the commander of Battery E, 82nd Artillery, 1st Air Cavalry Division as of January 1970. He served in this capacity in Vietnam as a Major and retired around 1974, after flying helicopters in two tours in Vietnam. He is most likely still alive and living in Nixa, Missouri. These wings must have been given to a girlfriend early on who he did not stay with, and are in sterling silver.
