Notes for: Wayne Blondell Riggs

Entered military service Sep 19 1943 at Norman, OK. Served at Pearl Harbor, Guam, the Philippines, and Okinawa. Awarded three Battle Stars. His entry in "Young American Patriots" gives his birthdate as Feb 3 1925, but the Social Security Death Index has it as Feb 3 1926. The latter is presumed correct, with the former possibly an effort to disguise his true age at the time of his military enlistment.
