WWII Medals / others?
Can anyone identify these medals? My fiancée is a real estate agent and believe it or not the family of the deceased owners of a house that she sold did not want these medals. It makes me both furious and sick to my stomach but that’s the case. I sure as heck wasn’t going to let them get tossed out so I grabbed them up.
He was born in 1918. He spent a full career in the military, first in the USAAF, then the USAF. He was a flier although I’m not sure if he was a pilot or a NAV, etc. He retired as a LTC. We have bits and pieces of his career but I believe he was in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I was hoping to get some insight into these claims from these awards. Can anyone ID any or all of them? Here come the pics |

1. pics of woman?
2. is mentioning she's a real estate agent because she found these from a house she listed? 3. who is "he"? |
Back on that first pic, those first two look like an Arcomm (Army Commendation) and Good Conduct Medal-Red one
That next to last one looks like a National Defense Ribbon The red one with the yellow stripe. The rest could be campaign medals where ever he may have served |
