Somewhere during this time frame, my Dad flew corsairs ~~~ his favorite plane! I just didn't have it in my notes. Am sorry this is so long but I want to dedicate a USMC site to my Dad and would like to "speak" with anyone who may have known him. While I am at it, did any of you know Lt. Col. John Murphy USMC-Ret. (he and his wife, Alice, are my Godparents). John was in Japan during 1965-66 ~~~I believe.
THANK YOU for any help you can give me.
One proud Marine daughter,
