Dad's medals came yesterday. Finally. Here's a link to their picture. On
the Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal and lapel pin, there are four small
bronze stars. On the Rifleman, there are two. What do these medals, and
particularly the little bronze stars signify?

The small stars indicate repeated awards.
On a campaign medal they probably indicate each campaign he was in.
