USMilitaria Posted September 25, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 25, 2018 Hey guys! Im happy to bring you guys my newest silver star uniform grouping! Whats great is that I have all of his paperwork! Its all identified to Robert Jobe and I purchased everything from his son. Jobe enlisted in the USN in WW2 and was stationed on the USS Gwin where he received the Silver Star and Purple Heart in Okinawa. His service doesnt stop there! He then reenlisted into the Army and was in the 2nd Infantry Division in Korea where he received the Bronze Star with V device for destroying 3 North Korean tanks singlehandedly while being wounded! Im suprised he didnt receive another silver star! Im really happy to have all of his original paperwork and much more cool extras! -Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timberwolf Posted September 29, 2018 Share #5 Posted September 29, 2018 Definitely a unique grouping! What did he earn the SSM in the Navy for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMilitaria Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted September 30, 2018 Hi there! Im unfortunately not sure. His citation wasnt in his records. I have his separation of service paper that lists his SSM as WW2 navy. I can speculate though. The ship he was on was the USS Gwin that took out multiple aircraft in Okinawa. He was also a gunner on the ship! -Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
