Signal Corps officers' Silver Star for June 6th 1944
Captain Herbert H. Wiggins, from Alabama, served with the First Signals Company of the 1st Division during WWII.  He distinguished himself by his heroic actioni on the beach head of Normandy on D-Day, June 6th 1944.  He established and maintained Division ship to shore radio contact during the grueling invasion and earned the Silver Star.
Captain Wiggins is shown in the original photograph below being awarded his Silver Star in France.  Most certainly it would have been an unnamed 'stock' award, the decoration shown below would have been officially issued later and is properly named in a pattern consistent with having been issued shortly after WWII. It is as found with his ETO ribbon bar pinned in the case.
