A complete stranger in Savannah tracked my mother down via just this sort of geneaology sleuthing, and sent her a silver medal which was given to my grandfather in 1942 when he went off to serve in WW2. Mom sent the medal to me recently. It is beautiful, though lightly circulated, as apparently Granddaddy must have carried it as a pocket piece for a little while.
