Platoon 3321,3rd.bn.
Platoon comander was SSGT. R.O.Reed
He had already been in country, had a purple
heart, and bronze star with combat V and oak leaf
cluster.I always thought he would have made
a good Marine to go on the MARINE CORPS
poster.

Well now that I have been around the site a bit wanted to add a bit.

Plt 1104 Sep 74 Dec 74

Went to boot San Diego, recruiter said I had my choice, dear old dad went to Hollywood back in the 50's so I wanted to go there too. Also the only Lt. Col I see on the site "captcouv" and I went to boot together on the buddy program. Funny thing, after boot never saw him again, in the corps or out...some buddy program. We live in the same town now, we will see each other soon.

Pop's was a Corporal (E3) that's right E3 in he old Corps, Korea vet. He didn't admit I out ranked him until I made Sgt, never could make him admit a Lance Corporal in 75 was the same rank as a Corporal in 50.

Nephew is a Marine too, went to Iraq, drove Ollie North around while he was reporting for Fox, now that is a Marine's Marine too.

Anyway, Semper Fi Marines.
