Enlisted from the State of Oklahoma, Served as a Staff Sergeant in the 6540th AF Air Base Group in the Second World War.

The emblem that appears in the Virtual Flowers section is the Honorable Discharge lapel button issued to World War 2 servicemen upon their discharge; they often wore it on the lapel of their jacket. Collectors of military memorabilia colloquially and fondly refer to this button as the "Ruptured Duck," a humorous poke at the design of the eagle, which some view as having a seemingly out-of-proportion inflated chest.
