    Silver Star, Pacific Campaign ribbon(s), good conduct ribbon(s), WW2 Victory ribbon, presidential unit citation, Philippines Liberation

    (I'll let you google each to see what is what All very easy to find. )

    The red arrow is for the 32d Infantry Division

    The 5 stars on the Pacific Campaign ribbon indicates 5 separate campaigns

    The 4 gold "strips" on the khaki cloth are Overseas Service strips. Each is for 6 months, so this indicates two years.

    The rifle on the blue award is a Combat Infantryman Badge.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    The "Red Arrow" is the insignia of the 32nd Infantry Division. Created in 1917 to serve in WWI and made up of National Guardsmen from both Wisconsin and Michigan, the Division earned its trademark insignia from its penetration of every German line of defense it faced. The insignia consists of a red arrow piercing a horizontal line and has been used by the 32nd Division ever since. My Great Uncle Joseph Prawdzik served with the Red Arrow during W.W. II From Grand Rapids, MI
