This listing is more aimed for those who seek to preserve history almost lost to time.

May God bless those past and present who sacrifice so much for us, and may their sacrifice never be in vain. This is the Army Good Conduct Medal that is named to Refugio H Villarreal. He was born on either November 28th or December 1st 1924 in Arizona (There is conflicting information on his birth date, but his death date, SSN, and service number line up), moving to Los Angeles as a farmhand on a fruit farm before registering his draft card and enlisting in the US Army October or November of 1943. He served outside the United States and discharged on November 7, 1945, serving two years. It is unknown where or who he served with as information is sparse. If you cross reference the screenshots you’ll see information is consistent and inconsistent, though the likely chance of two people with the same name, surname, and middle initial being born three days away from each other and enlisting on the same exact day is unlikely. Refugio died on September 4th 1980 and is buried at Oakdale Memorial Park in Glendora, California. His Army Good Conduct Medal. Replacement Period WWII Victory Ribbon and Honorable Discharge Pin.

United States Navy Water-tender 1st Class Frank Sherman King (service N? 3211907) was born February 17th 1919 in Rolfe, Pocahontas County, Iowa to Raymond C. At the age of 4 he moved with his family to Ohio near Buffalo, where they lived 5 years. At the age of 9 he came to Mason City with his parents and continued to reside there until he entered the service. Frank attended the local schools and was a member of the Boy Scouts. He enlisted as a seaman in the United States Navy in Mason City, on August 28th 1937. After basic training he was transferred to the New Orleans class cruiser U. Minneapolis on December 24th 1937. The Minneapolis operated along the west coast, aside from a cruise to the Caribbean early in 1939, until arriving at Pearl Harbor in 1940. Seaman King continued serving aboard Minneapolis at Pearl Harbor, until he reenlisted June 28th 1941 in Mare Island, California where he was issued this Navy Good Conduct Medal dated 1941. Water tender King continued his service during his 2nd enlistment aboard the Minneapolis at Pearl Harbor. When Japan attacked her base on December 7th 1941, WT2c King aboard the Minneapolis was at sea for gunnery practice about 8 mi from Pearl Harbor. She immediately took up patrol until late January 1942 when she joined a carrier task force about to raid the Gilberts and Marshalls. While screening aircraft carrier U. Lexington on February 1st, she helped turn back an air attack in which three Japanese Mitsubishi G4M “Betty” medium bombers were shot down. King aboard the Minneapolis took part in the Battle of the Coral Sea from May 4th – 8th 1942, screening Lexington through the great air engagement and shooting down three Japanese bombers. She rescued survivors when Lexington was lost, part of the price for preserving the vital lines of communication to Australia and New Zealand and stopping further Japanese expansion southward. The Minneapolis was also engaged in the second key battle of the early phase of the Pacific War, the Battle of Midway from June 3rd – 6th 1942, again protecting the carrier’s task force from Japanese air attack. After replenishing and repairing at Pearl Harbor, Minneapolis sailed to protect the carriers as they covered the landings on Guadalcanal and Tulagi from August 7th – 9th. Remaining with the carriers, she went to the aid of Saratoga on August 30th, when the carrier took a torpedo hit, and towed her from the danger area. Through September and October, Minneapolis supported landings west of Lunga Point and on Funafuti. As flagship of Task Force 67, she sortied on November 29th to intercept a Japanese destroyer force attempting to reinforce Guadalcanal. She scored many hits on the destroyer Takanami, which sank. However, the gunfire failed to sink Takanami before she could fire her torpedoes, and in a twist of revenge two of these torpedoes hit Minneapolis, one on the port bow, the other in her number two fireroom, causing loss of power and severe damage; her bow collapsing back to the hawsepipes, her port side badly ruptured, and two firerooms open to the sea. Of Minneapolis crew, 37 were killed in action while 36 were wounded. WT1c King was 1 of those 37 casualties, confirmed killed in action on Nov. King was awarded numerous citations among which was the Purple Heart Medal and this posthumously issued Navy Good Conduct Medal.

May God bless those past and present who sacrifice so much for us, and may their sacrifice never be in vain. Here is an Army Good Conduct Medal that is named to Phillip C McManus. He was born on October 26, 1924 in Pomona, California. He lived in California, going through middle, high, to Junior/Community College before registering for the draft on December 20, 1942, volunteering around June of 1943 (Progress-Bulletin), and officially enlisting on September 28, 1943. He found himself in the Air Corps Reserves in Sheppard Field Air Corps Base in Wichita Falls, Texas. The base conducted basic training in eight different schools of the Air Corps including Glider Mechanics School, but the primary focus was to train Aircraft Mechanics. McManus was then stationed at Lowry Field in Denver, Colorado in 1944 (Progress-Bulletin) which used to be an Air Force military base. At the time of his discharge he held the rank of Sergeant with the specialty of Airplane Armorer Gunner, to which he made inspections and repairs on aircraft armament such as bomb release mechanisms, cannons, guns, equipment, and more. He was part of a bombardment group, but the quality of his DD212 & Discharge Certificate is so poor, it’s hard to tell what it could be. The paper trail effectively ends there.

The medal is in good condition, has a circle marking from an adhesive tag. The ribbon has a bit of wear too.
