Fred Borgmann Posted January 25, 2009 Share #53 Posted January 25, 2009 Fred Here is a late update. Everett D. Johnson was a Y3c on the USS Argonne 12/7/41 during the Pearl Harbor attack. His SN is 321-37-51 . He enlisted 8/24/40 . Kurt Further thoughts Kurt, The USS Argonne was in the Pacific for the entire Second World War as a repair and supply type ship and only earned one battle star for the Pearl Harbor attack. Johnson probably only served on that ship during that time period. If he signed on in 1940 that means he got his good conduct medal for only 2 years, is that possible ? Thanks, Fred Link to post Share on other sites

arclight Posted February 2, 2009 Share #58 Posted February 2, 2009 Raymond Hall's GCM. NPRC wasn't able to provide me with any information on this sailor, so if anyone can find any info, I would appreciate it! Link to post Share on other sites
arclight Posted February 2, 2009 Share #59 Posted February 2, 2009 the enlisment bar only has his name engrave on the reverse. Not as fancy as many of the onse shown previously, but I still love it. The year 1938 is engraved on the front of the bar. Because that date is so close to WWII, I can't help but wonder if he served throughout the war, perhaps being eligible for a second hitch bar. Thanks for looking, G Link to post Share on other sites
KASTAUFFER Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share #60 Posted February 3, 2009 I will probably do a thread on this GCM later on, but it needs to be on this thread too. This medal is part of a large grouping. GCM to the Submarine S-38 dated 1928 . The recipient of this medal was present 12/7/41 at Pearl Harbor on a different sub, the USS Narwhal . He served on the Narwhal during her first two patrols. He received a commendation letter for the 2nd patrol. The bars are dated and both have his name engraved on the reverse.
