Comments: My grandfather was on the ship around 1925. I have his certificate from when they crossed the equator and headed to the Panama Canal. How can I find out more about his history and who's signatures are on the certificate?

Comments: I am looking for any information about my father, A. A. Norris, who was a sailor on the USS Rochester during the Korean War. He passed away a few years ago and I just found a book that he had packed away entitled "USS Rochester Operation Korea 1950-51". he never really talked much about his service, I do know he was involved in a large battle on Christmas day. If anyone has any old stories or pictures I would love to hear from you . Thanks.

Comments: I am looking for any information someone might have on my dad. I would also like to know specifics on the "Air Medal - United States" he received other than what the books are saying. It is a royal blue ribbon with a gold orange broad stripe on each side and a narrow stripe on the ends of the same blue. The medal is a 16 point sun burst with a circle protruding out. Overlaying the circle is an eagle in flight with lightning bolts in its tallons. My dad was a mechanic on the choppers as well as other flight craft. I have been told that in the Vietnam War that the mechanics were often the door gunners. If that is true for the Korean War that would explain his reluctance to speak about it.

In Korea I served on USS Rochester CA 148 from the begining to 1952.
I have three battle stars; Pusan,Inchon and Hungnam.
We were at Hungnam providing covering fire as they made their way
to the the evacuation point so this whole story has made quite an
impression on me.
That Marine experienced two terrible wars in 9 years and died a young
man. -referring to MSGT William John Mc Clung, USMC who died at Chosin
on Dec 7, 1950.
Thanks again.
