Army
Description
The shoulder sleeve insignia for the U.S. Army's 45th Infantry Division. The original insignia, photographed on the right, was approved in August of 1924 and featured a swastika, which was a symbol commonly used by Native Americans from the Mississippian culture. With the rise of Germany's Nazi Party, which also used a swastika, the 45th Division retired its original insignia and replaced it in 1939 with another Native American symbol called the Thunderbird, photographed on the left and on the bottom.<br /><br />A notable member of the 45th Infantry Division during World War II was Private Rufus H. Lennon Jr. Lennon (1921-1944), a soldier from Bradenton, Florida. Lennon was born in 1921 to Rufus H. Lennon, Sr. and Bertha Lennon. On November 21, 1940, he enlisted into the U.S. Army at the age of 19. Pvt. Lennon served in the 180th Infantry Regiment of the 45th Infantry Division. Pvt. Lennon died in battle on September 21, 1944 in Lorraine, France, and was awarded a Purple Heart, Combat Infantryman Badge, American Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal.

Census Population Schedule for Greensburg Ward 1, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania
Description
The U.S Census Population schedule for Greensburg Ward 1, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, in 1940. Individuals are identified by name, titles and terms, gender, age, marital status, race relationship to head of household, birthplace, birth year, the last place of residence, and occupation.
A notable resident listed in this census was First Lieutenant Frank B. Morgan (ca. 1920-1944). 1st LT. Frank B. Morgan was born in Greensburg, Pennsylvania on January 28, 1920, to Samuel and Edna Grace Morgan. Samuel Morgan was a first generation American of Northern Irish descent, working in the publishing industry as an editor and linotype operation. Edna Grace Morgan (née Black) was a native of Pennsylvania and appeared to be a housewife based on census evidence. Frank was the youngest of three boys, his siblings were Samuel Cree Morgan (1909-1990) and James Alexander Morgan (1912-1982). The Morgan’s owned a home on 17 Clopper Street in Greensburg, where Frank would reside until he entered active service. On December 6th 1939, Frank’s father passed at the age of 71; he was 19 at the time. Available records do not reveal whether 1st LT. Morgan (O-750431) entered the military by draft or enlistment; however, records reveal that he entered active service on April 27, 1942, out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the age of 22. Leaving out of McDill, 1st LT. Morgan served with the 555th Bomber Squadron, a unit within the 386th Bomber Group. 1st LT. Morgan served his country with distinction, earning an Air Medal with Eight Oak Leaf Clusters. He died on December 20, 1944, four days into the Ardennes campaign. His death is listed as non-battle related, suggesting that he may have been one of the many B-26 crashes at takeoff, or upon landing. 1st LT. Morgan died just before the of the war at the age of 24. Morgan rest at Plot B Row 39 Grave 46 in Epinal American Cemetery France; a second memorial was organized by his family is at Parker Presbyterian Cemetery in Pennsylvania.

Missing Air Crew Report Update
Description
After Eason's crew was found (minus Eason), an update was written which said that all of the surviving men were to return to duty. This update points out further that Eason did not survive, but his crew went on to fight more.
Thomas E. Eason (1922-1945) served over three years in the United States Air Force, 569th Bomber Squadron, 390th Bomber Group, as a waist gunner on a B-17 nicknamed "Sweet and Lovely." He completed twenty-eight missions in both the Pacific and European Theaters of World War II. On January 20, 1945, he was killed in Eastern France after his plane was shot down by enemy combatants. Over the course of his service, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf Clusters. Today, he is buried in the Epinal American Cemetery.

Missing Air Crew Report
Description
The B-17 Eason was on at the time of his death crashed in Eastern France after being shot down by enemy combatants across the German border. The crew was considered 'Missing in Action' until the wreckage was found. This 'Missing Air Crew Report' was written shortly after the plane crashed, and was edited with pencil after the crew was found. After they were found, Eason was discovered to be dead. This report records him as 'KIA.'
Thomas E. Eason (1922-1945) served over three years in the United States Air Force, 569th Bomber Squadron, 390th Bomber Group, as a waist gunner on a B-17 nicknamed "Sweet and Lovely."

Description
<p><span>The </span>Florida-France Soldier Stories<span>project seeks to tell the stories of the Florida soldiers buried in the American Battle Monuments Commission cemeteries in France. Our goal is to honor and commemorate the brave individuals who gave their lives supporting the Allied forces, liberating France, and defeating Germany in the Second World War. Simultaneously, our goal is to teach the students who participate in this research project about the history of France and Florida during World War II, about the history of individual servicemen, and about how to implement historical research methods in their work.</span></p>

Individual Casualty Questionnaire
Description
After Eason's death, the surviving members of his crew were required to fill out an 'Individual Casualty Questionnaire.' These questionnaires provide insight into how Eason died, as well as his personal relationship with the members of his crew.
Thomas E. Eason (1922-1945) served over three years in the United States Air Force, 569th Bomber Squadron, 390th Bomber Group, as a waist gunner on a B-17 nicknamed "Sweet and Lovely." He completed twenty-eight missions in both the Pacific and European Theaters of World War II. On January 20, 1945, he was killed in Eastern France after his plane was shot down by enemy combatants. Over the course of his service, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf Clusters. Today, he is buried in the Epinal American Cemetery.
