aerialbridge Posted September 25, 2017 Share #6 Posted September 25, 2017 Jay V, you're welcome, glad to. That he was a 21- year- old Chief Machinist citizen volunteer is pretty neat-- must have been born with a wrench in his hand. That discharge is a great find, hope you can turn up a USS Panther Sampson Medal to go with it! The gravestone application form says "no medals", but I believe that refers to valor medals that could be indicated on the headstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cool part is some of these paper items can be picked up for much cheaper then comparable medals! I have a few nice documents myself i picked up over the years just due to the history! Thanks for sharing and congrats on the find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
