Can anyone tell me about these medals? I tried to look them up, but I only found the rainbow WWII victory one. I believe these medals belonged to my grandpa, but he died before I was even born. My mom never talked about him being in the military (she never talked about her parents at all, really).

There wasn't any documentation along with the medals, or even his name anywhere. If I knew his name I could look him up somehow, right?

This OP its obvious and if you diddnt know that then kill yourself and visit your grandpa in heaven. Tell him thanks for his service from me though.

Is there a way to figure out when they're from specifically? Most of the answers on google say they were awarded during various years, would someone who saw actual combat get these medals or could anyone get them?

The National Defense medal was awarded after 1953, but the other two could have been awarded during WWII. I think it's interesting, I just wanted to hear something from someone that knows more about them I guess.

There's no need to be rude, guys. I'm not familiar with this kind of thing, I was just posting to see if more people could give me clues or maybe tell me what they know about these medals.

The Efficiency, Honor and Fidelity medal is a good conduct medal awarded to soldiers who have been found to do good service.

Don't mind them. >>28414892 said more or less everything that needed to be said. My gramps has some of the same medals.

One more thing, the ribbon bar you have pictured is paired with the National Defense medal. IIRC the other medals should have corresponding ribbon bars as well.
