Semper Fi,
My dad was a wounded veteran of Iwo Jima. He was drafted in late 1944 at age 37 into the Marine Corps, called pops at boot camp, offered chance to stay at PI as a DI, refused, became a BAR Man off to Hawai and then Iwo Jima. I would like to have a display case for my dad containing his medals earned. I know about the purple heart, however I do not know what theater and service ribbons he would have rated. If someone could help with a list I would be most appreciative.
Thanks
Ron Hurwitz Sgt USMC 1954-1962
