Papa Lolo's War Medals

I was surprised to find a frame of medals. I suspect it's from the last cabinet that was packed. It was Mama Lola's cabinet which still housed a few of her things (Mom got rid of most of it way back). I never met my Papa Lolo because he was gone already when I was born. The only time I "met" him was when he appeared to me in SFO when I was a child. 

Here are the medals I found:





I did some research to find out what each medal represented.


World War II 
Philippine Military Merit Medal



Asia Pacific Campaign
World War II


World War II USA Medal


I got a case for Papa Lolo's peaked cap. I'll put them together, so I can put them on display. Papa Lolo survived the Bataan March and helped save others. We wouldn't be around if not for him.
