olc oak leaf cluster Explanation: An oak leaf cluster is a common device which is placed on military awards and decorations to denote those who have received more than one bestowal of a particular decoration. The number of oak leaf clusters typically indicates the second and subsequent award of the decoration. Most military awards use bronze, silver, and gold oak leaf clusters. The higher ranking oak leaf clusters are issued "in lieu" of a lesser number, allowing a large number of award annotations to fit on a single ribbon. For instance, five bronze oak leaf clusters would be denoted by one silver and five silver by one gold. The United States military only issues bronze and silver oak leaf clusters. Gold oak leaf clusters were briefly considered as a device for the Air Medal, but this was not adopted by any of the services. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-03-22 12:08:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ah, ok:) "hrastov listic" "2Stipetić je znao ponešto o svemu tome - kad je 1988. kao zapovjednik Odsutne obrane Zagreba, polagao generalski ispit, za zlatni hrastov listić s jednom zvjezdicom..." http://www.slobodnadalmacija.hr/nedjeljna/20010504/ hope this helps:) Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_leaf_cluster |
