Thanks for the info guys. This clwears up some of the stuff rattling around in my head. Since the headstone he has was not a gov't headstone, the family had that info abt the 90th put on there. Who knows where they got it...
Colonel, I apprecaite the suggestion about the IDPF. I had considered it, as I have on other cases I am working on, but the last time I tried to get one, they told me since I was not uimmediate family I could not have a copy. But, that doesn't mean I shouldn't try again...and I probably will!

Marion and Colonel,
At your convenience, please take a look at the bio I wrote for Cpl Clem Lee. You can access it at find-a-grave memorial #89054411. If you see any errors, please let me know. I will be transferring this memorial to a family member of Cpl Lee's once it is completed.
