An original 1983 concept sketch of the Military Freefall Parachutist Badge, designed by U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Gregory A. Dailey of 5th Special Forces Group, is displayed. The illustration features three proposed versions of the badge, including a master-level design with a wreath, a senior-level design with a star, and a basic version without additional devices. The middle design featuring only a star was ultimately not adopted in the final badge approved for wear in 1994. (U.S. Army illustration by Sgt. 1st Class Gregory A. Dailey)
