On most grave stones there is the date born followed by the date of death.
This page will not highlight either date but will key on the dash. That is the time between those two dates, and we will Honor the Life and Contributions of these Marines to their country and their families. For those listed herein are heroes who not only served this great nation, but, who served in this nation’s most revered and feared service, The United States Marine Corps. This page is dedicated to those who wore our uniform and earned the right to be called Marines. These men were proud to have had the distinction of being part of 1st Composite Radio Company and 1st Radio Company, and also having been acknowledged as the first Marine units in Vietnam.
