instantly as he fought off an
enemy ambush of machine gun
fire as the Reconnaissance Patrol,

Heart; Distinguished Unit En-
blem, Philippine Liberation rib
bon with two bronze stars; Asia
tic Pacific campaign medal with
three bronze service stars for bat
tie participation in Bismark-

sion of Manus Island, Admiralty

Those decorations which have not
been received by his mother will
be presented to her at ceremon-
les to be arranged by the Veterans
