[army historian]

Recent pick up US Naval mounted group of 4 to Afro American "Jesse Croxton Jr. 1953" Chief Quarter Master and Small Craft Commander. The group is: Navy good Conduct Medal named and dated "Jesse Croxton Jr. 1953" bar suspension w/ 2 br. Stars; Navy China Service Medal (Extended) - mounted backwards; National Defense Medal w/Br. Star; Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal. I have already found a photo of the man in uniform (1972-73) cruise book. He is also entitled to: Combat Action ribbon; Navy Efficiency ribbon with 2 E's; His Good Conduct has 1 silver and at least 2 br. Stars; Vietnam Service Medal w/ 3 br. stars; Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal w/1960 device. He is also wearing the Small Craft Commander's badge. Born 13 February 1931 died 1 December 2010 in Maryland. This is a nice clean group to a 30 year man (served 1950 to 1980).
