Help with DD214 Codes

It's been awhile since I posted here but today I received by grandfather's DD214. He was a Navy Signalman 2nd Class from 1943 - 1946. What I need help with are the medal codes on his DD214 one in particular. Here is the list just as it's typed on the form. Asiatic-Pacific - 2 stars / Phillippine Lib. - 1 star / American Area / Victory Medal I need to know if the "American Area" designation refers to a medal or not. I think it's for the American Campaign service medal but I'm not sure. As always any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks I thought that's what it meant. I'm new to having actual records to look at. My other Grandfather's army records were lost in the 1973 fire.

 

If I have this right the ribbon bar for the four awards you mentioned would look like this (in order of precedence):

 

Actually I think this is his correct ribbon set with the combat action ribbon being retroactive of course.
