Good evening to you all. I am working on gathering information on my grandfather who was a Marine on Midway Island during the battle of Midway, WWII, serving as a tank driver from what we understand. He has since passed and I am working on gathering service information for him to place in a glass case along with his burial flag and shell casing from the gun salute at the military service, May 2010. My grandpa never discussed his Marine service with any of his grandkids and his daughters know very limited information as well. Most all of the members that he talked about and who always attended the Marine Corp reunions have since passed as well.

I was able to receive today a DD214. If there is anyone here who would be interested in helping me decipher some things on there, I would be grateful.

Thank you for your service!
RC
