The following comment from 2nd. Lt. J. M. Burch was submitted to your blog:

"Trying to reach Cpl. Ed Nichols. I was 3rd plt. commander from Dec. ‘65 until I became C.O. Of Hotel Co. for Allegheny.

Platoon picture with Lt. Ernest must have been taken before then. LCpl. Joe Reynolds was our first KIA at An Tan Hill area and Snyder was wounded. Would like to hear from every one. Jim Burch, Major, USMC (Ret.) 205 242-9477 burchman03@att.net"

TJ Croft From Mick Hughes

by Donna Fuller on 02/20/19

Greetings Marines,

Marine "TJ" Croft has been diagnosed with colon cancer. Today, 2/19/19, he underwent a bronchoscopy to help determine if the cancer has spread. The results of this procedure are pending. A date for cancer surgery is also pending.

"TJ" is home right now. Tammy requests

no phone calls please as conversing is difficult for "TJ". PLEASE send texts, e mails and US Mail cards/correspondence. "TJ" always enjoys hearing from his 2/3 V.V.A. brothers. Please call/text/e mail Mick Hughes if you require contact information.

At this time, the Croft Family is grateful for your prayers and good wishes for "TJ's" speedy recovery. Thank you.

Semper Fidelis. Mick

Another passing.

From J.D.

I thought I had posted the passing of Samuel Lee Fincher in late December 2018. His significant other. Christa, said Fincher passed on December 17, 2018. Fincher, a machine gunner, I believe in RD Norton’s team, had been seriously wounded on 9May 67.
Fincher was affectionately known as “Bo”. R.I.P. Semper FIdelis. JD
