What does a World War 2 EAME Ribbon w 3 stars and one bronze arrowhead represent?

Bronze star represents major campaigns. For example the EAME Ribbon was given to anyone who served in Europe. So if they participated in the Napples-Foggia Campaign, then they would have 1 bronze star. Other campaigns were: Northern France, Southern France, Rhineland, and Air Offensive, Europe. If the unit was involved in the amphibious landing at Salerno, then they would receive a Bronze Arrowhead. A good source that was used to look up what campaign credit was earned by each unit is the Dept. of Army Pamplet 672-1 "UNIT CITATION AND CAMPAIGN PARTICIPATION CREDIT REGISTER" dated July 1961 (which is at least 300 pages thick). This document was used to determine who could be credited for campaign medals for WW2 and Korea. Custermen

Your father had a bronze star bronze star ribbon and then a small bronze star ribbon What does that all mean?

It probably means he earned a Bronze Star Medal. The medal was awarded to the soldier in a case that included three items: A bronze Star Medal, a ribbon and maybe a metallic version of the ribbon. The Bronze Star Medal was a medal in the shape of a STAR that was bronze. It hung from a ribbon that was mainly RED with a BLUE and WHITE strip. If awarded to the soldier, the STAR would have his name engraved on the back. If the ribbon has an Oak Leaf device or a small Star device or a brass "V" attached to the ribbon, this denotes a special recognition for the award. The Oak Leaf represents a second award of the Medal. The "V" recognizes the soldier for Valor.
