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?

My dad was a WAC recruiter in CO, we still can't figure out how he was
awarded a Purple Heart.

I think he got the purple dong first, then the heart.
