This week, James E Stidham, AX1, Crew 2, will receive his Air Medal that was awarded to him in 1968 for the combat missions that he flew while attached to VO-67. Through unforeseen circumstances, James never received his orignal Air Medal and Citation. Now, after 35 years, with the help of Barbara Wilson and Betty Barnes at the CNO Awards Board, James will now receive his overdue award. Congratulations, Jim!
