Hello all !

 

Purchased this grouping recently thought I would share it. I may need a little help with researching him but I though I would show you what I found. HIs name was James W. McGuire , he served in vietnam and was sadly killed when he was only about 20 years old.

 

The grouping included quite a few things, named bronze star and air medal , bronze star and purple heart certificates (no PH medal , case only). Very interesting grouping, wish I was more knowledgeable with these but I am learning !

 

Photos below , may move this to the individual research section a little later !

Thanks in advance for any research assistance. Always looking to learn more !

 

Medal photos will be posted a little later sorry, I had a little trouble editing them to size.

Looks like he was 101st Airborne.

 

SP4 James W. McGuire (C/1-501 IN) earned the Purple Heart (Posthumously) for military merit and for wound received which resulted in his death while on a combat operation when a booby trap detonated in the Thua Thien Province, South Vietnam.
