SSgt Floyd H. H-O-R-N was born in Massachusetts in 1915. He enlisted in May 1942 and joined the 76th Division upon completion of basic training. He was one of the original cadre of the 304th Infantry Regiment’s Personnel Section and served in all three campaigns with the 76th in the ETO and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and CIB. He spent his remaining years as a banker and passed away in November of 1972. Being a “high points” man of the 76th, this jacket served as his shipping home uniform and came to me off eBay with the patches still on it. It has been painstakingly restored using all period original ribbons/insignia.
