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

Brother needs help.

by Donna Fuller on 01/02/19

The following comment from Lonnie Duff was submitted to your blog:

"gentlemen, my brother Bill Duff was 4th platoon, Foxtrot Co., 2nd Batallion, 3rd Marines from approximately 1962 through 1964. Bill is presently stage 4 cancer and Hospice. I know it would mean the world to him if he heard from one of his other brothers. Sorry, I was army, don't know for sure how to do this, but if you can, he is currently in Minden, Nv. (775) 392-0007 I've always loved and respected the man, and would be very grateful if someone there could assist. Respects, and thank you for your service, Lonnie Duff 503 752 3865"
