kyhistorian01 Posted July 14, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2011 I found this in a grouping I was recently donated that belonged to a Navy Chaplain Captain. I Know he wasn't part of the operation as he was assigned to Marine Recruit Depot, Parris Island in 1963. Its my guess it was sent to him or given to him by his friend Cardinal Spellman as a gift. Has anyone ever seen one? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
