muddyboots Posted June 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 27, 2017 I got these a few days ago and they finally got here. I haven't had much luck finding to much information about this Vet yet. But the tags are very well used and I have never seen a Korean War tag with a handmade silencer. I know he was discharged from WW2 in February 1946 and I seen a newspaper article that said he was in California from Korea July 1952. I really hope I have luck ordering his records. I have never ordered records for a soldier that was in WW2 and Korea. Maybe there will be a better chance of getting his records from WW2 because of the Korean ties.

Tons of character I can't wait to get his record and there should be no problem seeing his Korean War record but I'm not sure about the WW2.
