American Campaign Medal - WW II Ribbon
Criteria: Awarded to service members performing either one year of consecutive duty between December 7, 1941 to March 2, 1946 within the continental borders of the United States, or performing 30 days consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days of duty outside the borders of the United States but within the American Theater of Operations. The American Theater was defined as the entirety of the United States to include most of the Atlantic Ocean, a portion of Alaska, and a small portion of the Pacific bordering California and Baja California. Service stars were authorized to any service member who was engaged in actual combat with Axis forces within the American theater. This primarily applied to those members of the military which had engaged in anti-U-Boat patrols in the Atlantic.
Attachments: Bronze Star Device, Silver Star Device

From a friend:
Doesn't quite solve it though.
thats odd...the last three on the right, are ARMY good conduct medals.
the bottom row-
american campaign medal-
European/African/Middle Eastern Campaign Medal (upside down)
American Defense Medal
ARMY good conduct Medal
All the other rows are the same except the Top row second ribbon (WWII victory ribbon)
Guessing from how it looks compared to the other campaign medals.. (colors rep the countires flag colors) It's prolly a foreign Country we invaded.
