<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.

<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 incarnation of the ship (ie,
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). 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>
<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 incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). 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>
LESTER earned the National Defense Service Medal and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal during her Naval career.<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Hospital Apprentice First Class Fred Faulkner Lester, USN.<br/>Born April 29 1926 in Downers Grove, Ill., Fred Faulkner Lester enlisted in the Navy November 1 1943 as a hospital corpsman. On June 8 1945, while serving with the U.S. Marines during the battle for Okinawa, Lester spotted a wounded Marine lying in an open field. The 19-year-old sailor unhesitatingly crawled to his aid under a concentrated enemy barrage. Although twice hit by hostile rifle fire, he succeeded in pulling the wounded man to cover. Too seriously wounded to administer aid, he instructed two members of his squad in the treatment of the rescued Marine. Realizing his wounds were fatal, he refused aid for himself and directed his men in the treatment of two other wounded Marines before he died.<br/>Hospital Apprentice First Class Lester was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his gallantry.
