gap Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted March 2, 2020 More information: His discharge papers indicate he was awarded: (1) EAME medal w/four bronze stars for campaigns in Naples-Foggia; Rome-Arno; Normandy; and Air Offensive Europe; (2) Good conduct medal; and (3) "Distinguished Unit Badge GO 86 HQ 5 AF 44." As best as I can tell, the Distinguished Unit Badge may signify the 5th Bomb Wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
