It would be hard to imagine what sort of recognition this man deserves.

My late uncle Max was a cook with MacArthur in the Philippines. He left the Army as a Master Sergeant

In part this snub is do to the fact that after the CIB, New Guinea is probably next on forgotten US theaters of WW II. At least in part due to the fact that Gen Macarthur (the Montgomery of the USARMY) Did so much to insure that the only name ever remembered in the theater was of course His.

If he "earned" the CMOH, then perhaps his family should "receive" the CMOH posthumously since he is now dead (along with anti-semitism) 70 years after the battle.
