Hi Clyde,
It is wonderful to know someone else who knew my Dad. I miss him so much.
As far as the abbreviations go...these are the abbreviations listed on the actual award list on the government form. They have had me stumped. I have his silver bomber wings, but I do not remember seeing an eagle on anything. One of the items replaced was also the 'Ruptured Duck'.
I am awaiting the last medal and then I intend to send them to be mounted. Sadly, I cannot find rank patches to mount from the WWII period (TSgt) or an extra set of his retirement rank, which was SMSgt. I would like to have mounted them both.
I have seen many commemorative medals and have considered them. How would I know which ones he is eligible for?
I will look through Dad's pictures as time permits and if I see any that might be you...I will definitely send them to you as you may be able to help me identify them.
Hopefully I can find pictures of and Sgt Hill with Dad.You can email me privately any time.
