Marine Randy Cook sent this to me on May 4th, 2022!
I believe that it was added to some where on U.S. Marine Corps National Museum! Sorry for being my slow response time. Just getting tired. Working for an Evangelist from Fort Worth. Am building the sign for his new church! 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...
Best Wishes
Will miss you! I enjoyed speaking with you. Semper Fi
Ron will always be remembered as a good guy. The Marine was always there to help his fellow Marines. Even "volunteering" his wife to help. May God Bless him on his journey. Mickey Coe
