Seventh Part of the Seal
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share with my Wing Commander family!
A few years back I started doing research into my Grandfather, Staff Sgt. John F. Harrington of the 82nd Airborne during WW2. He was a decorated hero from the Battle of the Buldge and a Concentration Camp (Wobellin) liberator.
It became my mission to restore his Army record as much as possible after it's destruction in the hall of records fire that destroyed the records of soldiers from the Civil War- Korea.
I was able to recover some information, including serial numbers. My uncle got away with most of his good stuff when he passed away... including his Colt 1911
But there was a few serial numbers that didn't match what he had. After 3 years of research, cutting through red tape, and $1000 cash... I managed to recover the rifle my old man used during WW2 and bring it back up to firing condition.
I still can't wait to unviel it the family reunion in two weeks... they don't even know yet I found it.
