Both of my parents were WWII vets, my Mom being in the Army Air Corps, or Army Air Force, serving stateside.
I put her name in the memorial, and had no clue as to whether to list her as Army or Air Force.
You have to choose. So I looked at her discharge papers and all were from the U.S. Army.
So Mom got an Army memorial marker. I can't change it now, and I'm wondering if I
should have put down Air Force instead. Oh well.

I still need the rank info on James Waldo Kidder, and a vote as to whether I should list him
as Army or Air Force. So DU'ers, HELP.

Thank you, flyingfysh, for your info. It does help. Even if it confuses me more as to which to choose. LOL?
