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. Copy of his draft card. Copies of all documents in the photos.
