    Looking for anyone that may have served with my father. His name was Don (Donald) Bohannon. I have a group photo with this info, US Marine Corp R company 2nd BN 2nd Infantry Training Regiment Camp Pendleton 2 Nov, 1960. He passed away in 1984. He was such a wonderful kind man and I miss him everyday. Would love to find someone that may have known him.

    Three generation family. Looking for my grad book 1961. Looking for my Dad's 1942(?). Also, the one Marine who really helped me when family never showed up for grad was SSGT HDI Rushing. Tried to get back into shape while inactive reserve after Honorable discharge but no on knew how to help fix broken backs four places at the waist. I'd still sign up again if I could even though I'm 69. Loss of 1961 books is like someone erased us from memories. PI 2nd MARDIV, FMF, 3rd bn plt 339 of 336 series. about Sept 1961. Grad. Only Boot without family there.

    I don't give up. If I can't do it the old way, I'll find a new way. Sometimes you get lucky and find the adaptation was better than the old way. I'm Native American. Just give me a blanket, ammo and my old M1 and I'm ready to go, even at 69.

    Good morning Thearle, thanks for your reply you mentioned you are Native American what area are you from? My best friend and blood brother was Native American Chris Vaughn from Oklahoma, last time I saw him was 1966 at camp Geiger,N C. he was shipped to Viet Nam,and I was transferred to Marine Barracks ,Iceland I have tried to locate him no luck yet he is from Cherokee Nation. I do things like you if one way does'nt work try another. I still am looking for address at MCRD San Diego to obtain old Grad books from boot camp. I believe what you said a blanket,M1,ammo and you are good to go I am with you my friend Semper Fi have a good day and I will talk to you soon Cpl. M Hamann

    Thanks, Marv. Got it and I'll go to it As for Native American, it's potpouri. My Dad's Mom was full blood Siksika (Blackfoot), his blood father full blood Nakoa (Blackfeet; my Mom's mother was French Canadian Mohawk and her dad was english. I am National Chairman of the Met'is (mixed blood) Nation of the South. All my relatives were from Alberta Canada and Quebec. Right now I live in Nashua, NH but was originally from MA in the Springfield area. This news on the place to look is great. I'm hoping I can get a copy of my Honorable Discharge Certificate. We are three generation Marines. Dad was WW II, I was Cuban Missile Crisis until I broke my back in four places and was planning to get my GED for I had qualified for OCS. I couldn't rebuild my back in that inactive reserve time so I couldn't pass the physical to do so. I couldn't carry any weight on my shoulders so all my dreams went down the commode. I'll stay in touch and let you know how I did. I am known as Wolf among my people The name is Amorak, "Spirit of the Wolf"

    Hey, Marsha: My Dad died from war wound complications and TB he picked up at Guadalcanal in 1959. I was 15. I certainly got lost for a long time for I was his caretaker. I had no childhood so the wild streak and being on my own took over. But I learned a lot from him and my instinct as Native American. He was 34 when he passed. Looking for my grad book. Continuing the hunt. May you always have Peace within...... Thearle

    Hey, Tom: When Dad first got out we lived in Pawtucket on Prospect Hill. He was a radio announcer at WPAW and did a live talent show and had his own little band that did the REAL country songs. They called him Tex and the talent show was called "Leave It To Youth." Eventually, the TB stopped all work and he wound up bed ridden. We became real close. I had dreamed of wear his dress blues but my mother threw away everything that was his. She wasn't a very nice person. I have to laugh because when we'd walk to church, Dad and I, you could count cadence. Must have looked funnier than heck--his long legs, my stubby. It was quite a work out. Got so I could walk faster than most could run. Semper Fi. You guys don't know what it means to be part of this for a guy like me whose totem is the Lone Wolf. Peace within.......Thearle
