Two Generations of Marines
I just wanted to share a couple pics. Here is a pic of my Dad Gene Richards in Sasebo Japan in 1950 I believe. He served in the Pacific during WWII and is also an Iwo Jima Marine. He’ll be 86 this May.
Also , this is a pic of me during Desert Storm. This donkey hung around our camp after the cease fire. I was with USMCR AT (Tow) Co. Lt. out of Broken Arrow Oklahoma and attached to 3/23. This little guy even had USMC spray painted on his side so I guess he qualifies as a mascot. I tried to feed him some dehydrated fruit from my M.R.E. but he wouldn’t eat it. Instead he walked away and chewed on some plywood! Go figure.
Thank you,
