bobgee Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share #26 Posted February 6, 2013 Happy to have it back where it belongs. The epic story of HOUSTON's glorious fight and loss in the early stages of the Pacific war has always been a fascination of mine. To reunite and own a group like this makes militaria collecting all very worthwhile. Thanks to MW for being being willing to part with it it and to Rocco for the heads up! I contacted the EBay seller and he forwarded my PM of interest to the Buyer who fortunately was a Forum member. R.I.P. PFC Kendrick!

Here's a photo of PFC Arlando W. Kendrick USMC from his SRB who died fighting aboard this heroic ship. "Lest We Forget".
