I was told the 40 & 8 was responsible for all the shenanigans at their annual conventions.

Great name !

Don't know what you've found on his wife, the Navy Nurse, but her name was Kathleen Rebecca Morrow.  She was his second wife, married in Nov 1952.   She came into the Navy  12/01/1942. Made LT 8/01/1945. This is from 1945        Between 1950 and 1952, she was recruiting officer for Navy Waves and Nurses.

Ebenezer Snapper Ingram served during WW1 as member of Battery B, Second Anti-Aircraft Battalion, attached to the First Army Artillery Headquarters. This was given to him at the American Legion National Convention in 1929 in Louisville, Kentucky. He was the head of the 40&8 as the Chef de Chemin De Fer for 1929-1930.    Incredible quality of 14k with the name bars also being 14k. Three diamonds in the lower part. The nice American Legion medal that I have owned and will be in my upcoming book.

Anyone have a spare 304th? Last one to complete my collection.  Will take a repro.  Wouldn't mind replacing my 320th.  Mine is misshapen--oval shaped, not round.  

For instance, the IOH has a 31st Chemical Brigade patch that's a shield shape with crossed sword and arrow, but Wiki shows that unit uses the old 31st Infantry patch.  Just because it's approved by IOH, does that mean that's what's currently being worn?  

It's a good one in my opinion as well. 

I don't have the capability to measure my head at the moment, but I've had several other people try the liner on, and so far no adult man has been able to fit it on their head (this was after doing several things to try and increase the diameter of the liner). At this point I'm thinking the liner is likely defective, but I want to be sure before I go about trying to get my money back. Does anybody have something I can compare my measurements to? Thank you

Each unit that was created for and during Vietnam has a distinctive patch with its own pattern. A reoccurring theme with Vietnam era military patches, especially for the Army and multi-service units listed above, is a vertical sword in the center of the patch. The Signal Corps’ tell-tale sign is the presence of a lightning bolt somewhere on the patch. The lightning bolt represents the radio signals sent out by their equipment.   https://www.medalsofamerica.com/blog/vietnam-military-patches/
