A child with AD/HD [ A.D.D. OR ADHD ] is usually described as having a short attention span and as being distractible. In actuality, distractibility and inattentiveness are not synonymous. Distractibility refers to the short attention span and the ease with which some children can be pulled off-task.
Both the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps authorizes service stripes to those service members for every four years of service. In cases where a disciplinary infraction has occurred, the service member is not denied a service stripe but simply is authorized the standard red stripe design.
By the time he retired from the Marine Corps in 1951 he had earned more awards than any Marine in history; five Navy Crosses, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, two Legions of Merit with âVâ device, the Bonze star with âVâ device, the Bronze Star, the Air Medal and the Purple Heart.
