He will be awarded with 2nd class Golden Kite order on April 29, 1934.
Funny that he moved his American Navy Distinguished Service Medal to very end of the medal bar (where it should be from the very beginning according to the rules of wear).
Now it stands even after the National Foundation Commemorative Medal from Manchukuo.

Another photo from the same time period with Navy Distinguished Service Medal is still in second place.
