Semper FI Marines,
Today is another day to say some extra prayers when you go to church or just have time to pray. Fred Morris needs some help with his surgery that he is having so please pray for him for every thing to go well. Semper FI |

I was assigned to H&S Company, 2/9 on May 15,1975. I'll never forget earlier watching "Magnum Force" at the base movie theater at Camp Schwab. The movie stopped and we were told to get back to our units.
Later we were transported down to Kadena and boarded C-141 transports. It was very unplanned because the floor of the C-141 had ropes stretched across and we were told to sit and hold on to the ropes during take-off. Landed hours later at U-Tapao Air Force Base. Everyone was very upbeat inside the hangar. Outside was a U-2 recon jet that took off, apparently on a mission over Koh Tang. Recon intelligence left an awful lot to be desired on 5/15. Making an air assault in HH-53s wasn't that great either. Semper Fi |

My husband, John W. Lairson, was in the 1st Battalion, 4th Marines, and was there during the Recovery of the
SS Mayaguez,May 1975, But we are having a difficult time in finding documentation to that effect. Where would we look for any information proving that he was there. He was in Okinawa,Subic Bay, & The Phillipines. Thank You for you help. John & Judy Lairson |

Echo Company,
Its time to tell your story to a author writing a book about the incident we were all in. His e-mail address is sbaron7827@AOL.com. Try to find the time . Semper FI |

Guy went to boot camp with me, Ken Coleman, and Randy Seifert. Platoon 1091 was a good chapter in our lives. Mat a lot of friends like Charlie Robb and will always remember. I was lucky. Guy and I married sisters and were brother in laws all this time. His funeral was amazing in the amount of love poured out for someone. Semper Fi. :-)

I remember Guy Rush. He was a fine Marine and 1091's Guide in boot camp. A tall man with a big smile and always a kind word for everyone. He will be missed
