1974-1977 Clayton J. Luttrell Jr.

[audreylee18]

Hello,
my name is Audrey and I am just wondering if anyone maybe new my father, Clayton J. Luttrell Jr. He was in service from June 1974 to September 1977. I am 24 now but was only 11 when he was killed in a car accident. I dont remember him ever talking much about the Marines. Now that I am older I have recieved all of his memoribilia from then. He has all of his certificates from certificate of acceptance, private first class, lance corporal, corporal, sergeant, and many others for driving classes etc.... Also he went on 3 different ships, USS Spiegel Grove, in 1976 USS Charelston, and i am not sure of the other. I have alot of photos taken at boot camp and on and off board these ships, of alot of his fellow marines and would like to share them with someone who maybe knew him. He was in platoon 1072 San Diego 1974. He also participated in the evacuation of civillians from Beirut, Lebanon as a member of the 34th Marine Amphibious Unit.
Anyone that may have know him or would like to see the many many photos can reply to this post. I greatly appriciate it.
THANK YOU
