Thank you,He was proud of his country and his corps. He was from Hazard, Kentucky. He joined the marines in 1953 and retired around 1977. He was a DI at pendleton in the early 60's, around 61. He was at USMC HQ before his second tour and had something to do with writing lessons learned. The London Barracks in the UK was his last duty station. We lived in 113 London lane, Jacksonville NC when we were at Lejune.He was with Kilo Co 3rd Battalion 3 Marine Regiment 3rd Marine Division at Khe Sanh in 1967 as an E7.I have a picture of him in front of his hooch. He retired to Eastern TN.

He is listed on this website for Kilo Co 1967-

I am the proud grand-daughter of Shelby Gene Risner/PopPop. Even though life did always keep us a close as I wished I hold my memories of him close in my heart and cherish all of them. He taught me a drive and determination as only he could.
