Dear Mrs. Hickey:

Captain McVay has asked me to inform you of the medals and awards your late son, Harry Todd Hickey, has earned for his service in the United States Navy. His record indicates that he is entitled to:

1. American Area Campaign Medal

2. Asiatic-Pacific Area Campaign Medal with four (4) bronze stars

3. World War II Victory Medal.

Campaign ribbons themselves, distinguished from the medals which they represent, are worn by eligible personnel in lieu of campaign medals. The actual campaign medals to which your son is entitled are not at present available, but will be forwarded to you upon application at an appropriate time in the future. It is suggested that you inquire of this Bureau, at a later date, as to when these medals will be available for distribution.

Campaign ribbons may be purchased at any sporting goods store in your vicinity.

By direction of Chief of Naval Personnel:

Sincerely yours,

W. A. HOWARD
Lieut. (jg), USNR
