There is a veteran of WWII that lives at the beach, who has contracted cancer and is going to die. He still has some time, though. He was in the 454th ordinance...27th bomber group; he was confined as a POW from April 9, 1942 until September 11, 1945; his time in service was 1941-1946. this man is 88 years young. He was in the ARMY AIR FORCE. He was awarded three bronze stars, distinguished service medal, WWII victory Medal, purple heart, American defense service medal with 1 bronze star, American theater service medal, Asiatic pacific service medal with 2 bronze stars, Philippine liberation service medal. He was a survivor of the BATAAN DEATH MARCH. I have a copy of his papers here at my house....this is a legit request.
This veteran lost all his uniforms years ago. His final request is to find him a uniform (hopefully...dress uniform) to be buried in. He really wants to be buried in his Army Air Force uniform.
If any of you know where we just may be able to find one, please contact me at home at (843)346-2123. I do have an answering machine and will return all calls. Please don't call after 9:00 pm. Someone may have one laying around or someone may know of a uniform salvage company. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
I would think, that even though there is time, we should probably work fast on this.
Thanks in advance for any support you can provide.
