A few years ago, my nephew stopped by with his buddy and said he had a surprise for us. He knows how we are into military history, so he bought a Korean War chest and was delighted when he saw paperwork to go with it. He gave it to us and we were so thrilled. Thanks Jacob.
Well you know how busy I can get and I finally got around to scanning in all the documents. What a cool find.
Hope we can get in touch with his family somehow.
His # was AF 16 343 335
He was born on July 19, 1930
Here's to you Frank!!!
NOTE: Files were so large, I had to break them down even further. Sorry. Hope they are all in place.

So in 70 years my Marine paperwork will be interesting to someone? Maybe only for the fact that it was actually printed on PAPER during the first half of my time in! The later half you would have to look at on a computer!!
