Rattle Posted May 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 23, 2009 This is my newest medal in my collection. It's not as fancy as many medals here but the person awarded this one went through a lot. This is why i like it so much. It's a simple NGCM awarded in 1947 to a T.R. Sibson. As far as i have found out, Sibson enlisted in 1941 in the USN and was posted on the Battleship USS Maryland. He survived the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7th Dec. 1941. In 1944 he transferred to to Submarine training and was a crewmember of the SS Queenfish in the Pacific . After the war he was given a commission and was the engineering officer on the USS Bellatrix. He was with the ship in the waters of Vietnam during the war and was also a Navy MARS operator during the Vietnam war. Regards, Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
