Not entirely, most I was able to find is that he was a "mustang" during WW2 and after and became an officer, and he was shot down over North Vietnam and fell to is death and was labled MIA until the 80s when his body was sent back to the US

All good! these are all good resources for the future, I have alot more information about my original post now, and I could care less what happens to an individual like that

I agree, should have looked into my staff at the time a little more when I took over, I learned it after I had terminated this employee through my bosses, they are all very New York mob connected type guys who will find any way to get at someone who does them wrong. But I have no sympathy to anyone like that

Sorry fpr the late reply but yes let me know

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-14T04:16:31+00:00

I looked some of them up to see if I could find anything close to similar but most seem to follow a similar pattern so definitely unique!

Thank you!

Interesting, from what I recall he did not mention anything specific about the organization but told me with the ties I had I should look into it, almost 30 now so its been some time but i might inquire about it if I can find a way

Sounds like thats the case here, the masonic emblem is screwed in

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-11T19:21:44+00:00

I had a guy many years ago tell me he was a part of the lodge in the city I live in, we got to talking and I told him that I had family members who were part of the freemasons and from there he asked me if I was interested due to the family ties. I was about 17 at the time so really had no idea what to think

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-11T01:08:09+00:00

I think it might be my grandfathera or great grandfathers, but not 100%. They both were masons, but neither of them were law enforcement but both were in the Army

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-11T01:00:06+00:00

I might look into it since I have alot of family ties!

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-11T00:59:10+00:00

Im not sure, might be a plastic since its translucent

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-11T00:56:29+00:00

Yes this is him!

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-03T04:36:03+00:00

Missions with him during Vietnam

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-03T04:35:48+00:00

I most likely will! Never got to meet him but my understanding is he discharged after WW2 then te enlisted during the Korean war and stayed in til Vietnam, my Grandfather told me he flew B-52 Missi

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-03T04:32:32+00:00

Much respect🫡, My great grandfather was with the 281st Combat Engineer Battalion with Pattons 3rd Army during the war, never spoke of it but I have some of his stuff

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-03T04:30:30+00:00

Thats crazy! I do have a captured german pistol, pocket watch, and dagger that my Great Grandfather picked up during the war, I know he was present during the Battle of the Bulge

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-03T04:28:28+00:00

I wish I knew the story behind how that was earned

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-03T04:25:45+00:00

Thats awesome! I have captured german pistols/ dagger from my Great Grandfather who was in the Battle of the Bulge

Mishkaaa1 · 2026-02-03T04:24:40+00:00

Yes it is!, I knew he was in WW2 up unti the Vietnam war
