Comments: I did a search on my name just for the heck of it and found my poem here. I read it for the first time in many months and again felt the tears start. I got to know a few of my late husband's comrades and will always have a special place in my heart for the Korean War Marines. God bless you all and Semper Fi! Hold a place in the visitors area at that Last Parade for me, please, because I will want to see you all formed up once again. Thank you all for what you did and welcome home, both here and in Heaven.

Comments: Your recording of "The Marine's Hymn"--found on your "D Company, Korea" page--is probably the most inspiring version I've ever heard. My father, L. F. Leibold, was a member of G 3/7 during the course of two major conflicts, and I was with B 2/7 at the bitter end of a third. Wouldn't trade my time in the FMF for any other period in my life. My father used to say the same thing of his own service. He today awaits the resurrection from his resting place in Branson, Missouri. It'll be good to see him once more.
A hearty "Welcome home" to Marine Robert D. Leibold, who's obviously a darned good man, judging by his name.
