First and most important: Thank you for your service if you are a survivor! But if you are the family member of friend of one of the taken from us, please know you are included in my prayers.

I am a County Veterans Service Officer tryiong to assist one of my veterans, Tom Waltenburg (Army), who worked one the casualty tent at Rhein-Main to verify his presence for VA. One of his memorable actions was puking in his gas mask. He was part of the MI unit. If you think you remember him and think a photo taken at his unit AO would help you recall please email me and I will email you a copy.

Thank you & may God bless you! PJ Babcock, SFC (Ret)

I think of my brothers all the time. Many of these fallen Marines ate in my home and drank my beer. They were a part of the best times in my life.

On Memorial Day weekend, I write to thank all those who wrote expressing comments to the families of those KIA. Our son, Cpl. James J. Jackowski, USMC, was a Cook known as "SKI." Thank you for remembering our loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country in Beirut.
