Most Overseas Service Stripes Awarded

I apologize if this isn’t the correct place to ask, I’m just genuinely curious if anyone has a definite answer. What’s the most amount of Overseas service stripes ever award to one individual? Some that I know about are Johnathan Wainwright IV had 11, William Westmoreland had 16, and Floyd James Thompson had 18.

Why did my grandfather bring home a Carcano?

My grandfather was an insulator in the union and had a slew of jobs during the month of November in 1963 that started in Southwest Louisiana with a stop in Houston and finished in another East Texas city or town. My father said that when he got back in the beginning of December he just so happened to have a brand new bolt action Italian Carcano rifle. Why did he come home with this, just a coincidence?
