That odd transition time seems to have caught my father. The service was yesterday and though he had enlisted in the army, served in Korea and got out just prior to the police action, he was honored as and his marker says he was Air Force. Must have been DoD designation, though discharge papers say he was army.

My dad joined up around the time the Army Air Corps became the Air Force, I think in 1951. When he enlisted, the old timers could still wear Army greens, but they only issued Air Force blues to the newbies so he didn't get a choice in the matter.
