He must have been with 7th MEB.
Impressive - you even know which unit/division(?)! Well, I remember he had to lie in the trenches for eight months like a good Marine :) prior to seeing any action. Back then, the only cable news was CNN and Wolf Blitzer, and we'd watch every night in Death Valley. At least now we have a variety of news sources.
The day that war ended there was a most beautiful rainbow over all of Death Valley. We had put yellow ribbons on all the palm and mesquite trees all winter.
