Summary

Over 70 years after he left the jungles of Burma and 16 years after his death, the widow of Army Sgt. Albert King received the medals he earned as a member of Merrill's Marauders, the 5307th Composite Group (Provisional). Dot King received his Purple Heart, Good Conduct and World War II Victory Medals as well as his Ranger tab in a small ceremony at the Holly Hill Baptist Church in Burlington, N.C., June 26. The ceremony was conducted by the 81st Regional Support Command and attended by family and friends of the late war hero, who had previously received the Silver and Bronze Stars, American Defense Service and Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medals. Here, Col. Glenn Sanders of the 81st RSC addresses the audience.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
