Mr. Monday was a Marine Corps medic for 6 years.????
A son of a longtime friend is a Navy corpsman, serving with Marines. I didn't know the Marines ever had medics of their own.

Monday was a Marine, I have never heard him described as a "medic".
However, I don't thing too many Marines would take offense at calling a medic (who served on the front lines with them) a "Marine".
(I don't believe Monday ever served in combat)

If there are inaccuracies in the bio information I take responsibility for that. The article was written by me based on several other articles that I read. It's entirely possible that the nature of his Marine Corps service is incorrectly stated.
For this I apologize.
But, let that not overshadow a tremendously patriotic event executed by 'regular' people.

"Mr. Monday was a Marine Corps medic for 6 years."
If he was, he had to have done at leas part of it as a reservist while playing MLB.
He was born in November, 1945, and started with KC in 1966.
This would have made him 20 in April, 1966.

Here is another link to this story.
Monday Flag saving
As a Dodger fan and LA resident at the time, that was truly a great moment in LA Dodger/baseball history. Monday came to the Dodger's a year or two later and was one of their most popular players for several years.

Right on! My husband spent the bulk of his Navy career as a Fleet Marine Force Navy Corpsman.
WHen he was in Desert Storm, sometimes the Marines he served with would try to convince him to ride in the humvee, or whatever transportation they had. He always refused, preferring to walk with his unit.
To: BeHoldAPaleHorse
You are correct. Navy corpsmen go into the field with Marines.

======================================================================
That's a distinction without a difference.
My father was a Navy medic attached to the Marine Corps every single day after he left boot camp, which included most of the hellish "island-hopping" campaigns in the Pacific. There was not a single Marine he supported who would not have considered him "a Marine".
I also served with the Marines as a Navy Officer, and conversely, not a single Marine I served with or who worked for me would have mistaken me for a Marine Corps Officer. That's the difference between how Marines regard their Navy medics, and any other squid. :)
But as a (former) member of the Department of the Navy, I'm proud of our Marine Corps. Semper Fidelis
