Seeking List of Air Guard Members In WW2 and After

feeds@yuku.com (danpoynor) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 18:38:49 GMT

Is there a list I can review to see if my grandfather was a member of the 36th Air National Guard?

I'm hoping to find a photo of him in uniform for our family records.

He was Lt. Col. George D. McMorries and stationed in Hensley Field near Grand Prairie Texas and the Pentagon.

Thanks,
Dan Poynor

Museum Volunteers Needed

feeds@yuku.com (Gary Butler) — Mon, 01 Apr 2002 06:46:24 GMT
We are faced with a serious volunteer shortage, especially on Wednesdays and Fridays. As museum visitation gradually increases, as is currently happening, and the number of galleries increase, we now need to have a minimum of four volunteers on duty each day we are open. As we progress, that number will increase.

Anyone interested in spending one or two days a week working with the museum is requested to call (512) 782-5659 or (512) 782-5195 as soon as possible.

We are planning...

Access to Camp Mabry for visiting The Texas Military Forces Museum has changed, effective 22 March 2002.

The method is to go to the Maintenance Drive gate, tell the MPs that you are visiting the museum, fill out the information on the form given out by the MP, receive a visitor pass and proceed to the museum. No prior arrangements are necessary, except for special tours (as in the past). Individuals with Military IDs do not require a pass.

I'm researching units formed within the Texas Air National Guard, in preparation for a paper for my Master's thesis. I am using some of my father's military papers, newspaper articles, and unit histories. I can't seem to find anything at all on the following units that were formed in 1951; 158th Aircraft Conrol and Warning group, 134th Aircraft control Squadron, 108th Radar Calibration Detachment. All three were activated and went into regular service at the Air Force Control and Warning...
