Hi all.
I know it's been a while sense we've spoken. Seems every so often my life takes a tailspin, some times I recover quickly and get back on my wings, some times it seems like the ground is the only option. The last time I spoke with you guys was when we met in Washington, DC and shortly after that I flew into a brick wall. It's taken some time but in early February my phone rang at just the right time and I was able to visit with Al and Tina in Maryland and thanks to a chance phone call the last of my needed feathers fell into place. I'm back on the up drafts and life is manageable again. Never since 5/15/1975 have any of you not been in my thoughts and prayers. And I've missed our talks Bob you are especially missed. I am making every effort to be in Branson, MO this year and look foreword to seeing you all there. Semper FI |

It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of my Father, Nevlyn O’Neal (Tink) Prothro, at age 89, in Tulsa OK. During World War II he was assigned to Co. A, 350th Infantry Regt, 5th US Army, with Gen. Mark Clark, Commanding 5th US Army Group. He served in North Africa, from Operation Torch all the way through the Italian campaign, including Monte Cassino, and the controversial rush to Rome. Tink started out as a buck Private and ended the war with a battle-field commission to Temporary Captain working in Regimental Operations (S3). He was reverted to Warrant Officer after VE. Dad was the recipient of the Bronze Star for valor at Monte Cassino. Actually, my younger brother (now deceased) was named Mark in honor to Gen. Clark. So, you see, I was destined to be a lifer, even though Dad only did nine years from 1942 to 1951. When Korea broke out he was offered another temporary commission, but he opted to resign instead. He had always told me that he had fought WWII, now the young guys can fight in Korea. As you can tell, he had always been my hero.

Tonight, I'm deeply saddened to have found out my Commanding Officer, James H. Davis has passed away. I was honored to have server with "Jim" when I returned from Vietnam in late 1969. I believe it was 1970 when Jim became Kilo Company's, 3/6, 2nd MarDiv Commanding Officer. Jim was a true leader in every respect. Although I was only a Lance Corporal, recovering from injuries, Jim and GySgt Weets, both took me under their wings. Once recovered I was assigned as Jim's radio operator until I reenlisted for aviation training. I have so many great memories of serving with Lt. Col. Davis. God Bless You Always Jim, God Bless You Always
