Great WW2-Vietnam Marine Corps Medal Group to Roger Hill

[Zepeleptic]

Hi everybody, my name is Eric Houtman, a resident of California/Michigan, currently studying History in Michigan. I am an active member of WAF, but I moonlight as a US militaria collector also! I wanted to share my newest pick-up, this great ww2-vietnam medal group. I would love to get some research help on this, although I have struck a dead-end. I was told the name by the seller, but unfortunately no other information, as the family is very quiet regarding his service. The individual's name is Roger Hill and he was a resident of California up unto his death, unfortunately I have two Roger Hills in the SSDI and I can not get a lock-down on his middle initial:

 

ROGER W HILL 27 Jun 1939 02 Feb 2007 (V) 95765 (Rocklin, Placer, CA) (none specified) 279-34-9629 Ohio

 

ROGER A HILL 04 Jul 1940 30 Dec 2006 (V) 93455 (Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, CA) (none specified) 541-42-9213 Oregon

 

Now, due to this veteran's service through three wars, I was hoping that a member here would be able to locate some information for me. If not, I guess I will send out two 180 forms and see if anything comes back on either of them.

 

Any advice would be helpful!

Thanks so much!

nice grouping...looks like either he was stateside during WWII or he entered after the war but prior to the victory medal cutoff date in 1946

The birthdates eliminate those two from WWII for sure.
