Recently some of you sent in unit photos; I have been slow to post your pictures due to severe health problems. I am fighting Agent Orange illnesses; in simple words, I am in a fight for my life. Please do not become discouraged; I am searching for a Marine who is willing to carry this dream forward so all of you, my Bro's, , are represented for years to come.
It is not an easy job; there are very few "perc's"; it requires about two - four hours per day (Monday through Thursday)  if you are current with all tasks. There is web design, general maintenance, pics and info that needs to be posted There are many projects yet to be completed. Please contact me if you are interested; this becomes a labor of love.
