Readers: remember that Marines fought and served, often undercover, in the European/African/Middle East theater against Axis aggression too.
My Marine dad, Orris "Butch" Gates often traveled as "Diplomatic Courier" in civvies assisting in the war's communiques and troop mail delivery.
These were proud Marines wherever they served! I am proud to now research these activities. Love to hear of any other Atlantic theater Marine stories!
