Fixbayonets! Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted September 15, 2011 What a shame for it to end up in the garbage, another trooper with no name,nice find, great save.......517th I am happy to say he does have a name. Inside the photograph folder was a recognition of service certificate given to his family when he passed away. He died somitime in the 1980's as the certificate was awarded during President Ronald Reagan's term in office. I did a Nara & internet search but did not come up with anything on him.
