Longing for direction life's little fulfillments No matter what the joy in life we are all the same! Waiting patentiely for eternity, with my head pressed against the glass observing sadness day to day living life without a purpose while I've sacrificed everything for this. I'm finally starting to decipher my own sense of direction miles away I've found fulfilment. Loss of psychological comfort and those that claimed they loved. When I sit deep in reflection, I've abandoned everything for this passion. Guided by the white line miles away, my fulfilment.Įnchanted by the city lights sudden realisation strikesĪll I love I've left behind searching for something. Torn apart by desire, the fear of failure Stomach twisting, turning the place that I called my home has lost all meaning. I cannot dream anymore you left a hole inside my heart.

Both of the devices will be worn if authorized for wear, on specific decorations. The "R" device is to be a bronze letter "R", 1⁄ 4 inch in size. On January 7, 2016, the Secretary of Defense approved two new devices for medals and ribbons: a "C" Device which will be affixed to multi-purpose performance awards in recognition of meritorious service under combat conditions and, an "R" Device which will be affixed to non-combat performance awards to specifically recognize remote but direct impact on combat operations. These are sometimes referred to as award devices, but are most commonly referred to in service regulations and Department of Defense instructions simply as "devices" for awards and decorations. The devices may denote additional awards of the same decoration or award, an award for valor or meritorious combat service, participation in a particular campaign, periods of honorable service, specific events, and other special meanings. The devices are usually made of brass or metal alloys that appear gold, silver, or bronze in color with either a dull or polished look. The devices vary between 3⁄ 16 inch to 13⁄ 32 inch in size and are usually attached to suspension and service ribbons of medals and to unit award ribbons. The United States Armed Forces authorize certain medal and ribbon devices that may be worn if authorized on a defined set of United States military decorations and awards.
