This listing is more aimed for those who seek to preserve history almost lost to time. Now found within the folds of modern marketplaces, I attempt to find as much information about their service, along with photos, obituaries, any other information pertaining to the individual. May God bless those past and present who sacrifice so much for us, and may their sacrifice never be in vain. Here is an Army Good Conduct Medal that is named to Phillip C McManus. He was born on October 26, 1924 in Pomona, California. He lived in California, going through middle, high, to Junior/Community College before registering for the draft on December 20, 1942, volunteering around June of 1943 (Progress-Bulletin), and officially enlisting on September 28, 1943. He found himself in the Air Corps Reserves in Sheppard Field Air Corps Base in Wichita Falls, Texas. The base conducted basic training in eight different schools of the Air Corps including Glider Mechanics School, but the primary focus was to train Aircraft Mechanics. McManus was then stationed at Lowry Field in Denver, Colorado in 1944 (Progress-Bulletin) which used to be an Air Force military base. At the time of his discharge he held the rank of Sergeant with the specialty of Airplane Armorer Gunner, to which he made inspections and repairs on aircraft armament such as bomb release mechanisms, cannons, guns, equipment, and more. He was part of a bombardment group, but the quality of his DD212 & Discharge Certificate is so poor, it’s hard to tell what it could be. The paper trail effectively ends there.

The medal is in good condition, has a circle marking from an adhesive tag. The ribbon has a bit of wear too.
