It is with deep regret that announcement is made of the death of Captain Richard Brammer, U.S.M.C. (d.o.b. 18 Nov. 1941), on 8 September 2020. He had been confined to the I.C.U. at St. Mary's Hospital (Huntington, WV) for 3 weeks before he succumbed to his illness.
Lt. Brammer was assigned to Bravo Battery 1/12, was attached to 2/3 RVN and had been a member of the 2/3 Vietnam Veterans Association.
He is survived by his wife Cam; his son Sean (Allison) and their 3 children Hannah Morgan Brammer Singleton, Joshua and Caleb; and his son Brian Singleton and his 2 children Megan and Carter.
Along with family and the U.S.M.C., baseball was the love of Dick's life. The Brammer Family is requesting that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Dick Brammer Youth Baseball Foundation, c/o Bailes, Craig and Yon Law Firm, P.O. Box 1926, Huntington, WV 25720-1926

Please remember Captain Richard Brammer, his familly and loved ones in your prayers. May he rest in eternal peace.
Semper Fidelis.

From Mick Hughes:
Pfc. Bruce Carter is to be re-interred at Arlington National Cemetery originating at the Memorial Gate at 1500 on 4 November 2020.
The official site arlingtoncemetery.mil advises checking with the family for any changes to this schedule.
It sure would be nice if 2/3 V.V.A. were represented at this ceremony.
I have no idea how to get in touch with Georgie Carter-Krell. Anyone able to get in touch with her or her daughters?
Will send this notice to all the e mails I have for 2/3 V.V.A. Marines.
Please feel free to post this message on facebook or other social media.
Semper Fidelis.
