Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I mahi a Goodwin ki te Rōpū Kaikawe Ono i te wā o ngā whakaekenga o ngā Motu Bonin, ngā mahi moana i Palau, ā, i uru ki te Pakanga o Leyte Gulf
me ngā mahi tautoko i ngā taunga o Leyte i te mutunga o te tau 1944. I muri mai ka tohua ia hei Kaiwhakahaere Air o te Moana Moana o Philippines i raro i te Rear admiral James L. Kauffman ka noho tonu ki taua whakahau tae noa ki te mutunga o nga pakanga. Mo tana mahi i te mutunga o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, i whakawhiwhia a Goodwin ki te Legion of Merit with Combat "V". I whakawhiwhia ano ia ki te mau i nga Tohu Tuarua a te Perehitini Navy me te Tohu Tohu Navy.
