I'm intensely proud to have served in First Marine Division, the Corps' oldest and most-highly decorated. It was men like Taplett and Murray who taught me life's essentials when I needed them most.

Comments: Happy 229th birthday to all Marines, living and dead--though with greatest emphasis upon those who served within X Corps, Far East Command, Seventh Regiment, First Marine Division, FMF, during the historic 'advance-in-reverse' from Yudam-ni to Hungnam, fifty-four years ago. Odd it is, one of the Marine Corps' finest episodes remains largely untold, still buried somewhere beneath the bitter cold snow of bleak North Korea. "We can [soon] expect to meet Chinese Communist troops, and it is important we win the first battle," said Colonel Homer L. Litzenberg, of the 7th Marine Regiment, on November 2, 1950: "The results of that action will reverberate around the world."

Comments: While searching through my deceased father's boxed memorabilia from WWII and Korea, yesterday--from within the yellowed pages of a tiny military-issue New Testament Bible--I recovered the following newspaper clipping from the Kansas City Star, entitled: "Marine Draftees to Korea."
The article reads: 'The first United States Marine draftees to enter a combat zone since World War II landed today in the biggest group of Marine replacements yet sent to Korea. The 900 Leathernecks--nearly half of them conscripts--marched off the transport vessel General William Wiegel at an East Korean port. The Marines,' the report added, 'had sailed from the United States February 1 under the command of Lieutenant Colonel William S. McLaughlin, of Gloucester, Mass.'
My dad, then 26, had already served in WWII, and had a child by 1950. Officially on inactive reserve, he was not required to report to Korea, but nevertheless chose to report of his own free will. Twenty years after the end of the Korean War, I was in the First Marine Division myself, and while on leave I asked the man why he'd gone to Korea when he didn't have to, and he replied: "I had Second World War buddies who'd stayed in the Corps, and who had been trapped near the Chosin Reservoir. It was my duty to be with 'em. I owed them something."
On this Memorial Day, 2004, it's impossible for me to forget the words from the prologue of Colonel Joseph E. Alexander's "The Battle History of the U.S. Marines." Said Alexander: "There is a fellowship of valor that links all U.S. Marines, past, present, and future."
That fellowship was so deep and inviolable, indeed, that my dad--a son of pacifist Mormons--willingly forsook the comforts' of hearth and family for the rigors of uniform not once, but twice in his life. And he never publicly expressed regret for his wartime choices.

Comments: I am George Crotts' cousin and was a M-60 machine gunner in the Marine Reserve in San Rafael, CA (part of the 3rd battalion) from July 1964 through July 1970. I was at work in Mill Valley, CA the morning Johnson came on the radio and announced all of the National Guard and Reserve units that were being call to active duty. He ended the speech by stating, "We have decided not to call up the Marine Reserve at this time." As far as I know none of the Marine Reserves were activated during the Vietnam conflict.
God bless all of you, alive and dead, who have served to keep our country free.
A little observation I have made: Went to an Atlanta Braves game in April, 2004 and was very pleased at the huge number of people that removed their hats, faced the flag and stood motionless during the National Anthem. I don't know what it's like in the rest of the country but here in California a very large amount of people seem to think it's another opportunity to shoot the shit and move around. That lack of respect really pisses me off. I think a mandatory 2 years in the military would go a long way to fixing that and a lot of other problems we have in this country.
God Bless,
Roland Crotts

Comments: This is probably a crazy question to post on this page, but just the same, with the owners' permission, I'd like to do so. I've always thought that the combat uniform worn by Marines from Guadalcanal through Lebanon ('58) or the Dominican Republic ('65) were the 'saltiest' in the Corps' long line of famous field gear, the famed herringbone utilities, or, as WWII Marines referred to them, "dungarees." I saw some reinactors wearing those old utilities on the History Channel, a few nights ago, and wondered: Where can one uncover duplicates of those utilities these days? I've been hunting for even a replica of that uniform for more than thirty years, and have been told on more than one occasion that I'm barking up the wrong tree if I truly hope to find a set today. A second question, now, for anyone interested in responding: When did those utilities go out-of-service? 1959-1960 seems to have been the period in which they were replaced by the uniform Marines would wear in Vietnam by, say, 1965, but I'm not sure. The latest issue of Marine Corps utilities bears a distinctive camoflage pattern that has been constructed through the use of computer imagery, and is a very high-tech item of clothing, or so say it's manufacturers and developers. But, as far as I'm concerned, it's a far cry tradition-wise from those old herringbones' that bore the Marine Corps stencil-insignia over the left-breast pocket. Unlike so many military uniforms seen today, those old herringbones' had a character all their own, and no one would ever mistake them for any uniform other than that of a U.S. Marine. Thanks for allowing me the space to blow. Sorry to be so windy.
