Hoping someone could shed some light on what this rock with writing on it might be. The pictures don't show the rock's color very well but it is dark reddish brown. Items all come from WW2,Korean and Vietnam Veteran's Estate. Reddish rock appears to have HH and 1955 written on it. Also if anyone might know what the other rocks are and some of the unmarked medals/pins information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 20190726_121226.jpg20190726_121526.jpg20190726_121513.jpg20190726_121358.jpg20190726_121311.jpg20190726_121256.jpg20190726_121245.jpg20190726_121237.jpg20190726_121231.jpg20190726_121501.jpg

Don't know about the rocks, but the top row of pins left to right are 82'd Airborne (souvenir type pin) Rifle Carbine qualification badge, could be WW2 but hard to say since the same badges were in use in the Vietnam era as well, Flag pin is Disabled American Veterans lapel pin, the cross under it I don't know, need better pics. "This We'll Defend" is an Army Drill Instructors badge. Under it is a First Cavalry Division (souvenir type lapel pin) and the stripes are Command Sergeant Major of the Army tie tack. The second row I can't see the first one, second is Vietnam Veterans lapel pin, I don't know the two linked buttons, or the brass button off hand, and the last one on the bottom is a Combat Infantry Badge lapel pin


Edit : The IHN on the cross stands for "In His Name" and is apparently from a fraternal group called "
Order of King's Daughters & Sons"

Another edit : the two buttons with the chain are apparently reproductions of Rev War era Hessian buttons and translate to "God Is Our Hope"
