I'm the great neice of PFC John K Mohrlang. Marine Battle of Tarawa KIA(Body not recovered). My cousin Gary Mohrlang (yes you're Gary - GLM) as most of you know was extremely active on this forum & in locating information. Thanks to my Dad, my uncles (AL, Raymond, Sam) & my grandpa (Reuben - the oldest of all the Mohrlang tribe & ineligible to join) & the many tales of their time in the military, a budding obsession began for me. I was not able to join the service due to a hearing issue. So I have spent my years doing family history, bringing the past memories back for my family to learn from & just to quench my thirst for knowledge. Now I want to do something seemingly impossible, I want help bring Uncle Johnny's remains home. I have varying reports from being taken aboard then "BAS" to "he was seen blasted & then maybe being hauled in to a med ship to being burned in his LVT. I have spent the past couple years compiling information & finding other sites. This endeavor has become very personal for me. My son is now an Airman currently in Alaska, but heading to Ogden in the Fall. My father is one of the last remaining Mohrlangs that still have memories of my Uncle Johnny, I want him put to rest at home for my Grandpa, my Dad, my son, all my various family members that served and most of all for my Uncle Johnny to finally be home.
