New page

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during
its lifetime.
The list is in chronological order.
<table width="90%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner).
Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.
<ol>
<li>USS Banner AGER-1 Covers Page 1       (DATE RANGE)</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set,
the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one
postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of
earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
USS BANNER earned the National Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the Korean Service Medal, the United Nations Service Medal and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal during her Naval career.<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Captain William Wylie Galt, USA (19 December 1919 – 29 May 1944).<br/>        Galt was a native of Geyser, in Judith Basin County, Montana. He joined the Army from Stanford, Montana, and by May 29, 1944 was serving as a captain and operations officer (S3) of the 1st Battalion, 168th Infantry Regiment, 34th Infantry Division. On that day, at Villa Crocetta, Italy, he personally commanded an attack against German positions. He manned a machine gun on a tank destroyer at the front of the assault force, staying at his post in the vehicle's turret and continuing to lead his men despite intense hostile fire. He was killed while still manning his machine gun and, on February 1, 1945, was posthumously awarded the '''Medal of Honor'''. Galt, aged 24 at his death, was buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Great Falls, Montana.<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - (BANNER) A county in western Nebraska with its seat at Harrisburg. The name is a shortened form of Nebraska's nickname, the "banner state.".<br/><br/>
Two ships of the US Navy have borne the name BANNER - [[BANNER_APA_60_ | USS Banner APA-60]] and USS Banner AGER-1.
