    An original concept drawing of the Military Freefall Parachutist Badge, created in 1983 by U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Gregory A. Dailey of 5th Special Forces Group, is displayed. The hand-drawn sketch explores early design elements including the parachute canopy, wings, dagger, and star and wreath devices to denote advanced qualification levels. This concept contributed to the development of the official badge approved for wear in 1994. (Photo by Kalani Dailey)
