What a incredible group and its amazing to see the documents for the Navy and Marine Corps Medal. In my opinion the documents are probably harder to find then the medal itself. -

I picked up this killer Bronze Star group yesterday a local military show. This group is named to Technician Sergeant Russell Regis Braun. Braun was born on May 11th, 1911, in Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and passed away on May 29th, 1985, in Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Braun served with the 2679th Headquarters Company, Psychological Warfare Branch. And was the acting First Sergeant for the Eighth Army Combat Propaganda Team during Ww2 What's really nice is that the Bronze Star is officially government engraved, and I have the paper showing that. I am still trying to find more information on Braun, and the unit he served in any help is appreciated. CITATION FOR THE BRONZE STAR Russell R. Braun, 33174232, Technical Sergeant, 2679th Headquarters Company, psychological Warfare Branch, for meritorious achievement in connection with military operations in the Mediterranean theater from 20 July 1943 to 26 April 1945. As acting first sergeant of the Eighth Army Combat Propaganda Team of the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Allied Force Headquarters, Technical Sergeant Braun distinguished himself by meritorious achievement in combat operations in the Mediterranean theater. By zealous endeavor, diplomatic contact with British and American officers and with the enlisted men in his charge, and by efficient service of an very high order, Technical Sergeant Braun contributed an exceptional service to the war effort. Frequently under heavy fire, he was particularly valuable in his capacity as transport sergeant and contributed materially to the success of the Allied operations in North Africa and Italy. Entered service from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. -
