Scope and content
Over 10,000 people crowded into the Puget Sound Navy Yard in Bremerton on October 27, 1936 to witness the various exhibits celebrating Navy Day. Mrs. Elmer Moen admired the many medals awarded to Platoon Sergeant C.J. Anderson, a Marine stationed at the barracks in the yard. The medals demonstrated his proficiency as a marksman. He was part of the US Marine Corps team which recently won the national rifle team match. (Bremerton Sun 10/28/1936, pg. 1)
