Hey Ron !

 

My pleasure ! I've got a couple of Marine Raider groupings but still looking for a that elusive paramarine group !!

 

There's been several fantastic paramarine groupings on the boards lately too !

Thanks Darrell,

 

I really should send off for his records.Loyd kept a lot of paper items.When this was purchased at auction by the previous owner the 3rd unit history was with the group.The owner sold that a few years ago.If I recall he had to dig through several different boxes at the auction to find and keep together.I dont think Loyd had been married or had any children/relatives.so everthing was sold but no trace of uniforms according to my friend who bought this group originally.

Ron, very very cool stuff. This is one of the best things I have seen on this site for a while! Are you going to make your way down to K.C. for any of the shows coming up? Let me know next time you come to Des Moines, you had great stories at the gun show.

Great group Ron-those corpsmen certainly had their hands full on Iwo. Thanks for honoring this unsung hero.

Remembering Loyd and his service...

Nice Ron, first time I've seen this post. What is the deal with the pocket flag? I found one of those not to long ago and wonder what they were besides a small flag with no way to fly it.

Thanks
