Re: CVG-5 Korea
Found another. Lawrence Burton Green, born 1920, Annapolis '42 (Graduated 1941). LtCdr by 1949. Retired as a Captain in August 1964. WW2 Service. According to the records he won the Silver Star as commander of PT-363 in 1944. Qualifying as an aviator post war he then won the Navy and MC medal for saving his c.o after a flying accident off Oahu in 1947 (does anyone have more details?)before winning two DFCs in Korea!
I found CE Mulligan. Aviator 1942. He flew TBF with VC-7 (USS Manila Bay)in the Pacific.
Hank Suerstedt flew with VC-21 in the Pacific in WW2 and won the Silver Star and DFC for damaging a cruiser and a submarine.
