My display case showing the medals and ribbons that I am entitled to wear or show. The medals from left to right and down are;Good Conduct Medal, China Service Medal, Navy Occupation Medal, National Defense Service Medal,U.N.Korean Service Medal, Republic of Korea Presedential Unit Citation Commemerative Medal, United Nations Service Medal and Korean War Medal.

The ribbons are in the same order except the top one is the Combat Action ribbon for action during the Inchon Invasion, and the next one is the , Navy Unit Commendation ribbon,again for the Inchon invasion.

I am very proud to have earned all of them and extremely proud of the officers and crew of the USS Henderson and the performance of our duties before,during and after the invasion of Inchon.

If any of you navy veterans that visits this site are interested in the procedure to get the medals and ribbons that you are entitled to but may have lost them or never received them, drop me an e-mail and I will be happy to share with you the way I was able to get mine after 50 years.
