That is what I carried on the invasion of Guam in WWll. That bugger weighed 84 pounds. There were 9 of us and we did not lose one on Guam, but lost some on other engagements. I was wounded twice and got to come home after it was secured. Am now 91 and still working. (not as hard though)

Were you in the 6th Marine Division? I ask because my Grandfather was in the 6th Marine Division, and did the island hopping in the pacific.

God bless you, sir. It must be disheartening for you to have watched what has happened to this country over the past 40+ years, especially the past seven.

Tommie,

Thanks for sharing that with all of us and thanks for what you and your brothers did for America.

May God bless you and God bless them and their memory.

Semper Fi from one Marine to another.
