The weirdness of how I found about his death yesterday....On Veteran's Day, both my mother (WAC in World War II) and I had our names inscribed on our city's Veteran's Monument. Of course, at the head of the Marine Corps side was Mitchell Paige's name.

I sent some digital pics off to the extended family yesterday after checking out the monument, with a little note to do a Google search on that top Marine Corps name....for the hell of it, I did same yesterday evening, and voila. No mention in the media until this morning's paper. Kinda shocking at the time.

I'm going to keep my autographed GI Joe and copy of his book tucked away just a little tighter now. How I wish I could have one more tour of his study; quite a place.

I hear ya. I'm usually pretty up on the news and stuff but didn't hear of his passing 'til I saw your post... have you seen a decent obit anywhere?

so this is how the leftist media buries one of "their" heroes, huh? sad. Thanks for the post.

Wow. Funny how things sometimes just come to you like that at times in one's life.
It was meant to be for your to do that little search. Life is amazing sometimes, isn't it ?

Thanks for sharing that here ! ...
