Medals for Sixth Division Marine

My grandfather (PFC Vernon C. Moss) served in the 6th Marine Division. From what I can garner from his military records, he was in the HQ, 3DBN, 22DMAR, 6THMARDIV. I am trying to prepare a gift (display) for his this Christmas (and trying to keep it somewhat of a surprise) so I was hoping to get some help in determining what medals/insignia to display. He served in Guam, Saipan, Okinawa and TSHINGTOA between Spring 45 and Spring 46. Here is what I have come up with so far but would appreciate any additional help and/or corrections.

Rifle Marksman
Asia Pacific Campain Ribbon
Presidential Unit Citation
Combat Action Ribbon
WWII Victory Medal

Thank you to all who served! Your sacrifice has enabled many generations of Americans to enjoy the freedoms most just take for granted.
