aerialbridge Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Capt. Cary Hardison Hall, USNA class of 1940, (1918-2002), buried at USNA, with a tombstone promotion to RADM. Whoever did his Findagrave bio knew his ribbon rack well. https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=hall&GSfn=cary&GSmn=h&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSob=n&GRid=49493687&df=all& Link to post Share on other sites

Too Much WW1 Militaria Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I didn't do a ton of research on him, never sent to St. Louis for his records. Sold it in one of my many uniform dumps. Have shrunk my uniform collection down from 33 storage tubs to two, and feel great about the shrinkage! John Link to post Share on other sites

aerialbridge Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Thank you for the info and linc. Our forum members are awesome. You're welcome, glad to save you some time. Neat that another Forum Member had some of his uniform and even did his Find a Grave bio, but not surprising since how can anybody collect US Militaria and NOT either join or watch this forum. All US Militaria collecting roads lead to here. Link to post Share on other sites
