I must assum the below story was posted by you right at another site i came across ?
Above is a picture of my father aka "the bag senior".
It was taken when he was in vietnam back in 1968. I know this is an off topic post but i'm allowed to do that because I can rep 180 kgs squat for 4 reps while studying particle physics- at the SAME time.
Moving on to the point, I was e mailed the above picture today by an american cousin of mine whom i haven't spoken to in 17 years. She found me through google some how and was telling me stories about my dad and her dad (my uncle) in vietnam. They both passed away when I was young so I didnt get a chance to asked 2 million questions about what happened in nam, so this story particularly was interesting to me. So interesting that I thought it deserved to be shared. Its about my dad somehow managing to get a posh restaurant to send him and his platoon christmas dinners.
My Father was a marine and my uncle was in the navy. My Father's name was Robert Kijak, hes polish american.
Heres the story copied from the newspaper that my cousin scanned in for me, you can see the original one here on this link:

Also all you need to do is write for your father's records at this site.

Yes that was him that I psoted on another site. I can apply for his record from that site alright, but will that bring me pictures of him?
I remember when I was young there was pictures of him at home but there gone, my mother reckons they were lost while moving homes.
So I'm looking for veterans who served with him, or a website dedicated to the veterans of hqbn comm co 1st div marines, and hopefully I can see some pictures.
Thanks for your reply

Do you know what your father's MOS was? Communications Operator?
I served at the 1st Marine Division Comm Center, (just down the hill from the General's house), from Sept, 67 til Oct., 68. I was one of the teletype and crypto techs that worked for HQ Batt. We all ate at Hill 327 or at the small chow hall behind the HQ Battalion Comm Co. hooches.
