Aaron’s graduation

Sirs,

Our son, Aaron, graduated from MCRD San Diego 30 January 2009. Things were such a whirlwind that I never got to take a photo of all the Marines in our family standing together that day. Our friends from Washington, Rick (Vietnam era Marine) and Donna joined us. Rick and Aaron have a special relationship. Also my husband's mother and stepfather, Harry, drove in from Arizona. Grampa Harry served in the Marines in the 50's. And my husband served in the late 70's/early 80's. Four Marines proudly representing the Corps and our family that day. read more

Platoon 322 1951

I would like to hear from any one who knows anyone in this picture. This was my Uncle's boot camp picture, He went to Korea, was in the Moter Pool.

My Uncle's name is Bill Turney, to the end he could play the Marines Hymn on the piano. also he could not remember his birthday, but he knew every year when the Marine Corp birthday was. He gifted his sister my Mom, with a set of USMC service ware, in which I grew up eating with. I think he knew what he was doing. I found this Picture and the names in some of his things, and would like to hear from anyone who knows or knew anyone in the picture. read more
