Searching for MSgt. Donald R. Welch, Aviation Ordnanceman

[mcmar]

Trying to locate an real old, longtime friend.

[Wyoming]

Welcome Home Sir, and thanks for your service.

Have you tried, together we served dot com?

[mcmar]

Thanks, that is a great site for Marines...

[Charles Weidman]

Are you positive his name is Donald and not Dolph? Years ago I knew a Dolph Welch who I was stationed with at MWSG-17 (Station Weapons) at Iwakuni, Japan. Last time I saw him, he was NCOIC of Station Ordnance, Yuma, AZ and was a MSGT. This was 1975.

[mcmar]

No, his name is Don. He never was station in Yuma. Thanks anyway.

[mcmar]

Unable to contact Don or his family but I read today, in the "Semper Fi" newsletter, that my old friend had passed away in March 2011. He had retired back in Feb. 1973. He had 3 children. One of which was also an Aviation Ordnanceman like his dad.

Don, you will be missed... Semper Fi.

join9527,

What was your intent on replying about a Marine's death with advertisments? Don't understand your response...

[SGTBedbury]

Sir I have seen that on almost every post on here. I think someones account got hacked or something of that nature. Sorry to hear about your friend. Semper Fi.

I think if you look at his profile, he is a poser. An E-1, joined in '85, still in the service?? I think not.

Hi mcmar... MSgt. Welch was my grandfather. He did indeed pass in March, of cancer. I'm sorry that I didn't find this thread sooner..

Feel free to send me a message if you'd like. If you have any questions I'd love to answer them.

Happy Veterans' Day, Fellas. Semper Fi.

[mcmar]

Thank you for contacting me. Your grandfather was one of my truely great friends. I had known him since 1964. I really miss him. More so now that I know that I will never see him again. I don't know how open this site so here is my email address. I hope that you will contact me via email.

Hope to hear from you soon.
