Paul Yost, who was the commandant of the Coast Guard for a while. [Perhaps that made him the Mormon to achieve the highest rank in the Armed Services?]

I don’t think Yost is a very common name, so I assume they are related somehow!

In the fifth paragraph, the husband was Major Joseph Conway of the United States “Air Corps” but three paragraphs after “Silent Night” he was in the “Air Force.”

Now, he could well have been in the Air Corps before the war, when they got married. That’s what the U.S. air forces were called until they were renamed the US Army Air Forces in 1941–and by the end of the story he was likely in the Air Force, since it was established in 1947. But that’s not what the author said.
