army historian Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I got these photographs along with an album. There were all types of assorted topics. These two photographs, I believe are the only ones with the Hawaian Flight PN-9 (1925) being farried to the East Coast on the USS West Virginia through the Panama Canal. Under this photo was writen "in Culebra Cut". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

army historian Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) This is the Marine in the photograph with the PN-9. Wedding Day 1932 San Diego, California. Medals are Marine Corp Good Conduct, Second Nicaraguan (1926-1933), and what looks like a Veteran of Foriegn Wars Medal. It also appears he is wearing the Army type Expert Marhsmanship Badge with one bar, Rifle? Since he is a private 1st class, he was probably out of the service by then, and just wearing the uniform for his wedding.
