Are any of the medals named? Or are you able to identify the recipient?
Thanks, Keith

An interesting group, however one of the decorations is a little confusing. The Legion of Merit (third one in the top row) appears to have the miniature replica badge indicating "Degree of Officer". This would indicate that it is awarded to a member of a foreign military. All awards of the LofM to US personnel are done without reference to degree of award and thus would not have anything attached other than oak leak clusters for additional awards.
The Army Good Conduct Medal (seventh in the top row) as well as the three knots shown on the clasp would indicate that the soldier has served at least 9 years as an enlisted man - three years for initial award and the three loops on the bronze clasp show 2nd and 3rd awards.
