This is top row of my dad’s rack: Asia-Pacific Campaign with 1 arrowhead and 3 battle stars. WW II Victory Medal and Philippines Liberation with one battle star. It’s a little blurry because it’s a bit faded and behind glass.

My father was awarded those same exact medals during WWII. You may wish to research a little more, because with those awards, it’s highly likely your father would also have been authorized wear of the WWII Victory Medal.<br />As an aside, as you have the ribbons placed, they are in inverse order of precedence. The Philippine Liberation ribbon should be worn to the wearer’s left, as it is a foreign award and must follow all U.S. awards in order of precedence.<br />Here’s the way my father wore his ribbons.<br />
