<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>
<li>[[USS MARVIN SHIELDS FF-1066_Covers_Page_1 |Marvin Shields Covers Page 1 ]]     (1980)</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 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.

'''NAMESAKE''' - Marvin Glenn Shields USN (December 30 1939 - June 10 1965)<br/>
After graduating high school in 1958, Shields worked in the gold mines at Hyder, Alaska. He joined the Navy as a Seabee on January 8 1962 and was stationed at Glynco, Ga.; Okinawa; and Port Hueneme, Cal.. In February of 1965 he was sent to Vietnam where he served with Mobile Construction Battalion 11, Seabee Team 1104 attached to the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), 1st Special Forces at Dong Xoai. During an attack by a North Vietnamese regiment on June 10 1965, he was mortally wounded and died. For their actions during that battle, he and 2LT Charles Q. Williams, U.S. Army, 5th Special Forces Group, of Vance, S.C. were awarded the Medal of Honor. At the Medal ceremony Johnson said Shields, by his heroism during the 14-hour battle at Dong Xoai, saved the lives of many of his comrades. Although twice wounded, the citation said, he continued to supply his fellow Americans with needed ammunition and to return the enemy fire for hours. Construction Mechanic Shields was the first Seabee ever to be awarded the Medal of Honor
