when my dad was alive, i sent to washington asking for replacement medals of the ones he earned in wwII to put in a shadow box display for him when he was alive. i had to send in copies of his discharge and another document pertaining to his discharge, i forget the doc. #, but it had the campaigns he was involved in, etc.
he participated in the guadalcanal campaign and i understand the 1st marine division was awarded a presidential unit citation for that action. were not members of the division awarded a ribbon for their uniform regarding this award? i'm asking cause he didn't receive one in the packet of replacements washington sent along. if it was issued, a ribbon or medal, i'd like to get one to put it in the display so it would be complete when i passed it on. any thoughts here guys. was something issued for this citation?
