It is definitely an interesting ribbon bar. American Defense Medal so he was in service prior to Pearl Harbor. Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal with no battle stars. CIB without the star indicating a second award. So maybe he wasn’t infantry in WW2? Since the battle stars are there for Korea I would think if he was eligible for WW2 battles they would be there. It is a very interesting bar. Good luck with identifying the soldier.
