Marines, 

I have received word from Willy's friend Jerry Mehling that he had passed away on August 25, 2020 at
his home in Hartland, WI.  He stated that Willie had been working in his yard and came in for a nap
in the afternoon.  Family thinks he had a blood clot in his leg, he past away peacefully during his nap.  

Funeral Services will be at the Eckert funeral home in Hartland, WI 53029 on Sept. 1, 2020 at 
11:00 a.m. Jerry Mehling stated he would provide additional information as it becomes available.  
Jerry and Willy have been very good friends through the years since Vietnam.  Willy was also
a very good friend of mine and I know I am going to miss him.  God bless you my friend and 
I hope there are Casinos in heaven.  

Semper Fi.

Good morning Marines,  This just in from the "Miami Herald".   Pfc. Bruce Carter will be re-interred in Arlington National Cemetery. His remains are scheduled to be moved from Miami to Arlington on 4 November 2020. 
That's all for now.  Semper Fidelis

What's going on?  Very quiet.  Like John Wayne would say "too quiet out there"

Some one please say something.
