Has anyone seen anything like this?

This was mailed to my grandmother from the White House Aug 1963, it is signed by JFK.



Charles was my mothers brother and served with G company, 2nd. Battalion, 158th. Regimental Combat Team.

He was Killed in Action 22 Jan 1944 in the New Britain Island battle of Arawe.
That is all we know about his death. I have no idea why he received this award or anything about why it was issued.

Any help would be much appreciated.
