It's Treasure Chest Thursday - time to show-and-tell another document or artifact that defines some of my family history.
Here is my father's Honorable discharge certificate that I recently found in a notebook on my bookshelf hiding behind my boxes of other paper. I scanned it at the 26 September Scanfest.
The front of the certificate notes that:
"This is to certify that _Frederick Walton Seaver_ a _Mailman Third Class, USNR_
is Honorably Discharged from the _U.S. Naval Personnel Separation Center, U.S. Naval Base, T.I., San Pedro, Calif._
and from the Naval Service of the United States
this _6th_ day of _February 1946_
This certificate is awarded as a Testimonial of Fidelity and Obedience
/signed/ W.L. Gottenberg"
The back of this certificate indicates that Frederick Walton Seaver entered active service on 26 August 1944, lists his birth date and birth place, notes his service as with:
"* FPO, San Francisco, Calif., Flt Pool
* USS Halford"
and under Remarks, notes:
"Asiatic Pacific Area
American Area
Victory Medal WW 2"
