| Comments:update-Felipe Robles and I are hosting the 2006 Lima Co. Reunion near Chicago, Illinois. If you have never attended, it is a time to bond with comrades who long ago shared the experiences of war, which none of us can forget. It is a healing experience for those who have not fully come to grips with all that happened. Also, it is a family oriented reunion with a picnic get together that family members really enjoy. They will get to know their Marine or Corpman in a way that perhaps they have never understood, from the men that stood with him in a place called Nam. Remember the 646 Marines and Corpman of 3/1 that made the ultimate sacrifice for Country and Corp in Vietnam. They are the true Heroes. Semper Fidelis.--I am very proud to have served with Lima Co. 3/1. Just a great company and battalion. God Bless all our buddies who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our Country and Corp.Served with Lima 3/1 from 7/68 to 8/69, 2nd plt, 0311. |
