Thanks Ron!  I am going to give you the entire "Remarks" to see what you think. I shouldn't try to condense things, since taking portions out of context can change the entire meaning! Get lazy sometimes!  Here goes! Authority:  Para. 39 d SR 290-5-1 dtd 11 July 1952 and Ltr CG, Fort Sam Houston, Texas AKPSH-A 293 dtd 18 Nov 1953.  Grave No. 202-C reserved for husband. SFC Giroir is now on active duty. I know she died Nov 8, 1953, date of interment is shown as Nov 19, 1953.  Her previous husband died Nov 13, 1951--So I thought perhaps the July 11, 1952 might be the marriage date for her and SFC Giroir. shown in his records for adding a dependent/wife. As is obvious, I know very little about the military, so any help is greatly appreciated!

That is the way I see it. Ron Submarine Vet.
