patches Posted November 22, 2014 Share #901 Posted November 22, 2014 look s like Beau Bridges Yep,he was in the CG Reserves for 8 years. If fact both his younger brother Jeff and Dad Lloyd were in the USGG, Lloyd in WWII, and later in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Jeff also in the CG Reserves, 7 years, from early 1968 I think. Jeff in his Boot Camp service portrait circa 1968. Lloyd as a Commodore sometime in the 60s ( the CG Aux had different Officer Cap devices back then from what they have now).

devildog34 Posted November 22, 2014 Share #902 Posted November 22, 2014 John L. Russell made several film appearances including Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Oklahoma Annie and Rio Bravo. He was most famous for his leading role in the ABC Western TV series The Lawman which aired from 1958-1962. During WWII he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps and was assigned as an assistant Intell officer with H&S Company 6th Marines. On January 1, 1943 when the 6th Marines relieved the 8th Marines off the line at Guadalcanal, Russell was with the regiment. My grandfather who was a BAR gunner with L Company 3/6 vividly remembered Russell. My grandfather is a huge fan of Western films, even today he watches them on DVD every Saturday recalled Russell because he was unusually tall. Russell passed away in 1991 of enphysemia.
