Paul R Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 The yellow and blue ribbon is the Delaware national guards Distinguished Service Medal.

peter monahan Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) First one, bottom row is the 'Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal', the second bottom row is the American Campaign Medal and the third is American Defence Medal. The Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (ACPM) was awarded to any member of the United States Armed Forces who service in the Pacific Theater during World War II. It was created on November 6th, 1942 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 926. Bronze stars on the ribbon indicate a second award/participation in a particular campaign or battle. The Campaign Medal was also instituted in 1942 and awarded for "Service outside the U.S. in the American theater for 30 days, or within the continental United States (CONUS) for one year The Defence Medal was " intended to recognize those military service members who had served on active duty between September 8, 1939, and December 7, 1941." So, the wearer joined early or was in the services before the US declared war and saw active service in the Pacific/Asian theatre. I can't find anything which looks like the right hand ribbon, top row. Edited March 24, 2020 by peter monahan
jonsey2001 Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Rt hand Ribbon top row is US. I have one as well. I had a reference for it not too long ago. It is relevant to derive in 1920s. More later if I find my reference.
