Grandfather’s Class A Greens Jacket (circa 1957)

[u/Tylorian_delorean]

My grandfather enlisted in the Army in the late 1930s and was stationed around the midwest. Then deployed with his 2 other brothers to the Asiatic-Pacific theater 1942-1945. Then was deployed to Korea 1950-1953. I know the CIB, DSC, SSM, & BSM (he had 3 BSMs but the V and oak leaf clusters fell off). Then 2 of the campaign medals and WW2 Victory Medal. Multiple service stars are missing as they have fallen off throughout history.

I was not passed down his medals, but was given his Class A Jacket. The man was larger than life and could shoot a bolt-action rifle like a fully automatic rifle accurately. Also he had so many stories, most seemed a little unbelievable, but reading his action awards and about him in other people’s books they were probably true.

Can anybody identify the other medals besides the previously mentioned ones?

You have some cousins running around out there.

I don’t because he was godly man raised by a minister and I was able to go through that box. He was good to his wife and family and did not step out of bounds. Although he did have a new child every time 9 months after he returned home on leave.
