| This past semester I got an assignment in history to write a 15-page assay over the history of the Marine Corps. While I was doing my research and talking to some family members I learned a little more about a mysterious cousin of mine. Prior to this I could tell you three things about my cousin. Mike died in Vietnam, he's buried in Fort Worth and his name is on a black Wall. I can now tell you that he drove a '58 Chevy Impala, liked the Rolling Stones, was a Marine in D Co 1/7 Ist Mar Div, his MOS was 0351, he was 19 years old and died on 69/02/16. But still I know nothing about Mike. Have yet to even see a picture of this man. I am searching for people who knew him, who served with him and who can tell me what he was like. His memory is still hard for my family to think about. Every time I ask about Mike, the tears come before the answers. I do not wish to cause my family any more pain, so I am looking for answers elsewhere. I hope someone here can help me. Thank you, Amy
