Scott, My uncle was stationed in Hawaii during WW2 with the 251st Air defense Artillery which was then part of the 7th Army Air force. I have his 7th Air force shoulder patch in my collection along with his 251st unit crest "We Aim To Hit"
Neat items tom-- did you know him well?
If you haven't posted yet-- I hope you'll consider adding the items to CW.

Looking at your 7th Air Force pins, I'm thinking I must have two 8th AF pins, as the star symbol is identical, as is the overall theme.
