US WWII WW2 Army Good Conduct Medal Named Signal Corps & Medical Diagnoses A225

Description: 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. My hope is the buyer of this item will take the due-diligence to keep the veteran's memory alive and preserve their documents and items as long as they can. May God bless those past and present who sacrifice so much for us, and may their sacrifice never be in vain. This is the Army Good Conduct Medal that is named to William Lloyd Winchester.
