I knew your Grandfather, when he was CO of 1st Recon Bn. Met him at the "O" Club at Camp Del Mar in 1966 or 67.
Controlled some Arty, NGF and air strikes for some of his reconners I was with the 1st Marine Division Aerial Observer Unit. May he rest in peace. AAA...ruu...Gah. Semper Fidelis. Blackcoat.
