Found this in some of my fathers old papers. It was given on his journey to Japan as part of the Occupation Army. Not dated but I am guessing 1946-47 timeframe.

He was aboard the USAT Langford. I researched and discovered that USAT stood for United States Army Transport ship.

CSM Charles Hayden - Very cool! I had given mine to my parents for safe keeping, but when they split up, I don't know what happened to it. I hated losing mine from 1976 vintage!
