<table> <tr class="GridRow"> <td> <p> <table> <tr> <td style='vertical-align: top; width: 160px;'> <b>Posted:</b><br> <b>By: </b><a href='mailto:Studeny2@aol.com'>Mary Studeny</a><br> <b>On: </b>09/10/2002 <br> </td> <td style='vertical-align: top;'>I believe he was part of a ground crew--I know he used to go to the 401st Reunions a lot annually before he died...I do have (from my mother) an assortment of patches (?) from his uniform. There is a circular blue patch (several of them) with a large "8" in the center in gold, with wings (gold) attached to the bottom of the number 8. In the center of the lower circle forming the number 8 is a white star with a red dot in it's center. Another patch has an enlarged white star with center red dot where two gold wings are attached to the start on the top two edges of the white star. Another patch has a small white star with red circle in middle (this is centered at the top of the patch and is small. ..below that is a very large gold eagle, carrying in its feet some kind of gold elongated object?? On his ID card, it says John Studeny, Capt,,4C dated 22 July 1945. Under his photo and below his name is 0862441. On back of this War Dept ID, there is a number C 374538. His date of birth is Feb 14, 1916--a Valentine's baby.<br></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
