Matt-M Posted November 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 26, 2020 How many John Smith's in the phonebook? Seller says he was awarded PH in WW2 and may find it once estate is sorted. Otherwise, we'll never know, but thank you John L. Smith for your service! Semper Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt-M Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted November 28, 2020 Wow!!! I'm in awe!! Thank you, Bill ! I figured that ID'ing this Marine would be like finding the proverbial needle in the hay stack. Hoping the estate seller finds more of his effects. Should hear from them in the next week-10 days.
