Last month while I was in a Disabled Vietnam Veterans Thrift Store I stumbled upon something I could not leave behind.
For a mere $7.00, I bought, in a beautiful mounted and sealed frame, a class from Camp Pendleton, April 07, 2004, Bravo Company/ Class 09-04 / 1st LT: Mc Kean /1st SGT: Groth.
I am a woman who was raised by my daddy who was a World War II Vet and is buried in Ft. Logan Cemetary in Colorado where I live. I would do anything to have a copy of his Naval photo and it breaks my heart that this photo of these fine men were cast away and I happened to find them in a box in the back of the store.
My hope is to find one of these men who may appreciate my find, who may have been in this photo or a family or one of the fine men who may have lost their lives serving in the line of duty. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Also does anyone know how I may get a copy of my dear late father's naval graduation photo, the week would be the same time frame of Pearl Harbor and he was on the U.S.S. Pennsylvannia?
My name is Shawn Smith but like my daddy who went by "Smitty", I too go by "Smittie" but with an "IE" to be like a foo-foo girl that I am at the age of 52. Larry is my other half who happens to be a former vietnam vet in the Marines.
