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...

2021... Americans have lost the freedoms that so many have fought for.. We have barb wire around our own capital... Stolen elections... Commies in high places of our own government...
American businesses shut down... Travel restricted... Freedom of Speech taken away...
....COMBAT MARINES ~ Quietly sitting on our ass watching it ...
7th Marines are the most honored Regiment in the Corps...
From the Bloody Ridge of Guadalcanal to the Frozen Chosin ...
We knew that about us...
Now this was the cost to the 7th Marines in Viet Nam ~ Fighting communists...
We must never let our effort to fight communism slack off
We owe too much to those who are not with us - that gave so very much
We have communists in our own government now 2020...
We few combat Marines must continue to protect the freedoms of our own country...
Any way that we can.
Salute To the Fallen... Saddle up again Marines... America needs us...
