That is how many my Brother-in-Law has. 1st Air Calvary, Vietnam '66-'69. You would never know it if you were to ever meet him. Great guy that I am extremely proud of. Haven't met anyone, anywhere, that has had that many. I often embarrass him because I am quick to tell people....God bless all of our Vets, especially those that gave the ultimate sacrifice.
