I’ve googled most of the ribbons but was unable to find the middle left and top left ones.

Man does a tremendous amount of work to honor vets in his community.

Edit: oh fuck that’s a silver star

    See, that anecdote makes me more skeptical. “Missions in Laos [or Cambodia] with no records” is a frequent trope for fake combat vets or real vets who are exaggerating their combat records. They lean on it, because few have the background to call them on their stories. It’s easy to use it as a crutch and an excuse for missing documentation or lack of corroboration.
