Medals from WWII Army airborne infantry soldier

This soldier was wounded in the Philippines in WWII while fighting
with the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment. You can see more photos
copies of his documents at
http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/258302-three-war-vets-bronze-stars-purple-hearts/

The Bronze Star was likely received post-WWII for his combat infantry
service. He also has another Bronze Star with a device showing it is
a second award. I have no information on that or the engraved Army
Commendation Medal here received. He served in Vietnam so those may
be from that era. At some point after his death his family received
duplicates of his other WWII medal, ribbons, jump wings and Combat
Infantry Badge.

Asking $325 plus shipping. Call me if you need new info.
