Comments
Norm dePlume
The subject wears the rank of Private First Class, a National Defense Service Medal, and an Expert Marksman Badge (rifle). He lacks branch insignia upon his lapel and regimental crests upon his shoulders, which may indicate he had not yet been trained for a specific military occupational specialty.
