Did I Do Enough

Just completed writing my memoir of 33 years in the good old USMC (May 41-May 74), service in WW II (Guadalcanal & Tarawa), Korea and Vietnam.  Enlisted as 16 year old out of Fair Park Hi in Shreveport, La., was a MSgt at outbreak of Korea and commissioned a 2ndLt in summer 1950, retired as a Colonel in 1974. A great career, lucky all the way, would do it again in a heartbeat.  Doubt they could use an 87 year old, however!  Memoir entitled "Did I Do Enough?" and available through lulu.com/spotlight/dididoenough.  Had an e-mail recently from one Chuck Bell, who was a Corporal under me at Camp Pendleton in 1951 when I was a First Lieutenant (Radio Platoon Commander).  He had obtained my memoir and located me through my book.  Would enjoy hearing from other Marines I have served with over the years.

(I held all enlisted ranks (Pvt to MSgt 1941-1950) before commission in 1950.)
