I know Colonel Harvey Barnum (third from left) and sort of recognize a few others. A detailed name list would be appreciated...

Be neat if somebody could paint a portrait of these men standing exactly as they are here,but how they looked back in there fighting days, kinda like a reflection. Hey Fontman/Top, you should have sometype of connections for such a assignment !!!

[fontman]

That would be cool; I need the names of all recipients, first...

;)

The 2nd Marine to the left side of the CMC is Wesley Foxx Col Ret MOH recipient.

I have the book they passed out last nite & will copy & post it.

The book contains each MOH Marine's bio & original photo. I am trying to figure out how to get each page scanned properly, without destroying the book.

I have 2 computers uploading the masters files now of the photos. They are the same as I have already up there but are each 5+ meg in size.

I have school all day Sat, but will start scanning on Sun... please be patient!

I am giving a special thank-you to Don Patterson, who is giving me a link to his pix, of the warriors that were in attendance.

I AM SPEECHLESS. If this is made into a poster I will be willing to buy one, or two or a few.

"REFLECTIONS"

Would be a poster/painting that would sell like Hotcakes, I bet the majority of the jarheads would have it hanging in there homes,offices,workplace,barracks. Hell a lifsized painting standing in the new MC Museum would be even cooler.
