Can't help on the others, but that last one with the red/blue ribbon and star is the Bronze Star, my grandfather got one in Korea.
edit: And here, the best thing to do if you're family can't help is to write a letter requesting his records, that's how I received my information on my grandfather, they even sent me not just a list of his decorations, but the actual decorations themselves. And edit again, apparently you can it online now instead of through mail:

The two at the bottom are Combat Infantryman's badges
Middle row up the Maroon and White is specifically the ARMY Good Conduct medal
The Bronze Star (which everyone knew)
and to the right are unit patches
Top Row, Left to Right
The American Campaign Medal (WW2)
European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal (WW2)
World War II Victory Medal (United States)
They are displayed wrong.
the Bronze Star should be Top Center
The CIB's Below that
then the Three WW2 medals and the Good Conduct and
US theater medal below that.
At the Bottom I see a small round gold medallion, that one is the
"Honorable Service Lapel Button" commonly called "The Ruptured Duck"
Hope that helps.
