From Mick Hughes:
Good morning. It is with deep regret that announcement is made of the death of Captain Richard Brammer, USMC on 8 September 2020. He had been confined to the I.C.U. for 3 weeks before he succumbed to his illness while in hospital.
Lt. Brammer was assigned to Bravo Company 1/12, was attached to 2/3 RVN and had been a member of the 2/3 Vietnam Veterans Association.
Next of kin information, funeral and memorial arrangements will be e mailed to 2/3 V.V.A.Marines as they are received.
We pray for Captain Brammer, his familly and loved ones. May he rest in eternal peace.
