The grouping arrived with: SS, PH, Pacific Campaign and WW2 Victory medal. Additionally, a small framed photo of Henderson and his folks. Opened it up and it is dated 1944.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Can't have been too many officially engraved KIA USN Silver Stars awarded in WWII? 2,000, 3000?

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. You never know what is going to come next. In fact, the person whom I got the medals from said he had a picture and asked if I would I be intereted. The more info and pieces that can be held together, the better. And after so many years, Of course I said, "Yes". This is following along to join the medals.
