Biography
Overseas service: Korea. Church: First United Methodist, Marysville. School: Marysville High School. We ran night patrols to gather information on the enemy and radio communications back to main units. We ran patrols for all infantry divisions and 1st Marines. Our company and my squad suffered a high casualty turnover.
