THE CORPSMAN GAVE ME MULLINS DOG TAG AND TOLD ME I HAD LOST TWO MEN.. TERRY AND LT... HE SAID LT WAS KIA.. FOR 40 PLUS YEARS I CARRIED LT'S DOG TAG WITH ME EVERY MEMORIAL DAY.. THEN WHEN I CHECKED THE VIRTUAL WALL.. LT'S NAME WAS MISSING... WE FOUND EACH OTHER AFTER 4 DECADES... WE ENJOYED TALKING TO EACH OTHER FOR MANY YEARS... HE DIED THIS LAST WEEKEND AND LEFT HIS SWEETHEART HELEN AT HOME IN MEANS KY.

MEMORIAL DAY 2022 is coming upon us... Every Memorial Day I like to go to the ceremony at the Veteran's grave sites ~ Hold the dog tags that I have from those I lost in my Squad... or of those who were close to me in the war... I also say Hi - see you when God takes me - to those who have died after the war... They get to kick up and watch us on the flat screen in the squad bay...
I will say Hi to Donnie Detmer who was with me through PI 226 Sir and got KIA in Country in the field with another unit... From Alpha Company I will say Salute and Semper Fi to.....
Winston Raymo - Danny O'Connor - Richard Haas - Carl Boudreaux - Jack Belcher - Philip Moore
I know a few more on the Alpha co. KIA list but not as well as these guys... I miss these guys from Company A .. most dearly... taps...
I DIDN'T KNOW CORPSMEN COULD READ ??
HI LT.... GOD BLESS YOU AND HELEN THIS VETERANS DAY... I THINK OF YOU OFTEN...I'M HOPING WE CAN TURN OUR COUNTRY AROUND 2021 HAS BEEN A VERY BAD YEAR FOR THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM... NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE KILLING COMMIES IN MY OWN COUNTRY ..BUT YOU NEVER CAN TELL HOW THINGS CAN CHANGE...STAY FROSTY LT...
DID YOU KNOW I WENT THROUGH BOOT CAMP WITH PHIL WEEKS PI PLT 226...
WE COURT MARTIALED OUR DI'S.. ONE FOR MURDER...
