devildog34 Posted June 3, 2012 Share #81 Posted June 3, 2012 Kurt I never get tired of your unbelievable collection. Everytime I come over I see things I've seen 2, 3 and 4 times and it's like seeing it the first time all over again. You do some amazing preservation and research of what these guys did half a world away as teenagers. . . downright spine tingling when you get right down to it! Great job stuff. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Barickman Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share #87 Posted December 16, 2012 Received a 28.6 lb. box of items belonging to this Tarawa veteran. Robert Hall was the 60mm mortar platoon leader of H and S Company, Third Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment which hit the beach on Tarawa on the extremely "hot" Red Beach 1 on D-Day. He was wounded there in the surf but continued on to lead his men and was eventually made adjutant of third battalion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Barickman Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share #88 Posted December 16, 2012 There are three different Bronze Star citations in this grouping to include a great photo of Hall receiving his Purple Heart for the Tarawa operation from 2nd Marine Division Commanding General Julian Smith.

uplandmod Posted December 16, 2012 Share #89 Posted December 16, 2012 I agree with Mike, would be great to see more of that grouping. I own an Iwo 13th Marines officer Coat as well, I haven't received the paperwork yet but makes me wonder if they knew each other. Leonardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Barickman Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share #91 Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks to a fellow forum member for this nice addition to my Tarawa collection. Just received his file and he was originally put in for a Navy Cross for Tarawa but was downgraded to a Legion of Merit. He helped people medically on and near the pier while under fire. The file even had testimonials from others for his Navy Cross. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
