I know they were VN medals. Does anyone know what they were awarded for?

The medals Chance's father placed on the casket were his own Vietnam Service Medal and Vietnam Campaign Medal. The Vietnam Service Medal was issued by the United States. The Vietnam Campaign Medal was issued by the former country of South Vietnam.
