CHARLES TONDEE WEARS CROSS FOR HEROISM

Charles H. Tondee, gunner's mate now stationed with the U.S. Navy at San 
Diego, wears the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism.

A native of Ellaville, Tondee, son of the late V.H. Tondee and Mrs. Tondee of 
Ellaville, was awarded the cross for extraordinary heroism in a powder blast 
on the Cruiser Marblehead in July, 1936.  Tondee and a companion succeeded in 
removing several unexploded cases of powder in danger of being ignited.

After three years service in the army, Tondee enlisted in the navy in 1923 and 
has served in China, the Phillipines and Honolulu.
