Thanks for posting these pictures. My cousin was in the 6th Marines
and in the Okinawa invasion, I believe, or Iwo Jima, then went on with the 6th into China to accept the Japanese surrender/s.
I’ll be sure he gets these photos. He’s in his eighties now but still
in good shape. Semper Fi.

Your comment on the website:
Medals
The China Service Medal-for serving in China
Presidential Unit Citation-given to the 1st Marine Division
by the President of the U.S. with 2 stars in it, one for
Peleliu and one for Okinawa campaign
American theater of War-for serving in the U.S.
Asiatic Pacific-with 2 stars for Peleliu and Okinawa
You get the medal with NO STAR
If he got a STAR, that means he got it twice
if he has TWO stars, that mans he got it THREE times!
That means your dad got the PUC 3 TIMES!!
WOW!!
