I have one from my grandfather whom was on the USS ORCA. A seaplane tender during the battle of Leyte Gulf. I recently framed the flag (2 years ago) which after this episode I know it's upside down and backwards. Need to bring it back to the shop to have it redone. It's almost identical to the one shown, with the same story. I also have the news articles from Minnesota times at the time with his awards for assisting in shooting down Kamikaze aircraft. Somehow he wound up with it, it's pristine. After he died, his wife (whom has since passed) gave it to my father whom gave it to me along with all the ship charts, locations, articles and whatnot. I'd upload a picture, but not sure if you can do that on youtube.

Theoretically the name of the recipient should be traceable to the pilot behind the attack.
