Forrest’s awards and decorations, as worn in his Class A uniform are: the Medal of Honor, Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, Infantry Shoulder Cord, Combat Infantryman Badge, Expert Badge (probably for rifle), and Meritorious Unit Commendation.
The pair of shoes that Jenny gives to Forrest as a gift were Nike’s 1974 Cortez running shoes. Tom Hanks wore a similar pair of Nike shoes (white with red swoosh) in The Man With One Red Shoe (1985).
