Hello cockscap70! I was in the 6th Marine Division, 29th Marines . Our 6th Division was formed on Guadalcanal and disbanded in China, never saw stateside duty as a division. We had the 4th Marines, the 22nd Marines and the 29th Marines plus the 15th Marines, our artillery regiment. Are the regiments called the X Marines as opposed to the X Marine Divisions these days? I hope that your Dad is still with us and in good shape, the Navy were great at Iwo and on Okinawa.......shake his hand for me and wish him well Maybe we are both surprised to still be breathing!

I was talking with a fellow Marine at work (we are not both civies) and I remembered a picture that I have of Pvt Paul E. Ison. I was a young buck Marine on Camp Pen during the summer of '94 when we were presented to him. He talked to us young Marines and told us how proud he was of us. He then told us how he made it through Death Valley in Okinawa. Anyway, that is well documented, and everyone knows the story. I feel pride in being able to say that I met the man, and heard it from his lips. That was motivating. He had pictures of of the famous shot taken of him (no pun intended). He signed it for me, and now I feel that it is one of my personal treasures. Does anyone know if the Corps would like to have articles like this?
