Today his is also fighting cancer of the lungs, brain, spleen and liver. Of course, he is a marine and is fighting with amazing courage and determination. I was hoping the FR family could give him encouragement, appreciation for his service to his country. And prayers, lots of prayers. Thank you!

Two years ago I attended a reunion of the (artillery) battery I was with in VN. Also there was the battery's former Gy/Sgt who I vaguely remembered.
During the evening his wife mentioned that he had made the landing at Inchon ... AND ... survived the Chosin Reservoir.
I was absolutely flabbergasted to be speaking with a living icon of MC history.

Thank you everyone. I will send him this link and I hope it will brighten his day. I am trying to ping Mark Levin. Dad listens to him every evening here on WHLO. Hoping he could pop in with a message. Thanks again.

I read about Ku Nu Ri, Naktong, the ‘frozen Chosin’ and other fights.... It is hard to believe that human beings can survive that kind of thing.

I wouldn’t be surprised that if heaven has an honor guard, it’s made up of Marines like your Dad. He just doesn’t need to join them yet. God bless.

And I should know better. He was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. Not ‘won’. Sorry Dad!
