Thanks for the breakdown

I just quoted what I read from the papers I got. He was a "Sergeant" in the
"Army of The United States", and was discharged on Nov. 22, 1945 according
to the Certification of Military Service, NA FORM 13038 (REV. 04-01)

Is there any way I can find out what he did to get the bronze stars? I
understand a lot of records were lost in a fire, and this one has burn marks
on it.

You might try Army records in St. Louis - but they really did have a
catastrophic fire back in the 70's.

A veteran is allowed one reissue of awards and decorations.

In this case you would want the citations.

Long shot - but possibly?
