On September 15, 2011 the name of LCpl Glenn Lee Willis C Co. One Seven who was wounded on 14 May 1970 and died on 1 June
1970 as a result of his wounds was added to the "IN REMEMBRANCE - HONOR ROLL". His death had not been reported in the Unit Diary or Roster, and his Casualty
report listed another Marine Unit in error. Because of this unit error and a verification of his SRB the error was discovered, with additional information I was
able to confirm he was with C/1/7 when wounded and will finally be Honored as one of our own. Victor Vilionis
