After watching General Swartzkopf the other day, I noticed what
appeared to be a short leather strap hanging from his right shirt
pocket.  On this there were four items, all black.  There were two
stars.  I couldn't make out the other two items.  I've seen the same
leather strap on a few other officers.  What is this and what is the
significance of the items that are attached to the strap.

Thanks,
