I found a gentleman named Dorian Dula who said John was with Delta company. My mom gave me his medals and ribbons, I was looking for photos of him to put in a shadow box I have.

Comments: Hello to all. I would like to pass along some VERY important info. Compensation (CRSC) eligibility to include those who were medically retired under Chapter 61 with less than 20 years of service, effective Jan. 08. This means that if you were medically retired from the service --- you can now draw VA compensation and military pension. Semper Fi Bruce King
Comments: Roy Oden and I went to high school together in the Spokane valley and joined the Marine Corps together in 1968. He was KIA in Quang Nam Province on or about 18 June 1969. He is buried in the Point Loma National Cemetery in San Diego. On your Wall of Honor he is listed as a member of Lima 3/5. I gave 10 years to the Corps and during that time, and after the Internet arrived, I have tried to find someone who knew him and may have served with and/or been with him when he was killed. The last I time I saw Roy was a few days before he shipped out. I would like to hear from any of you who knew Roy. At a later time (October 69 to June 70) I was attached to Headquarters, 5th Marine Regiment at An Hoa with LSU #1 by the airstrip. During that time I met several members of Headquarters, Kilo and Lima 3/5. If any of your members remember me I would not mind hearing from them. Joe Talouse (sp) is the only full name I remember. You have created a great site here. I am glad I came across it. Keep up the good work and Semper Fi. David L. Churchill Former Gunnery Sergeant USMC

Comments: 8-1-08 I came across this site while surfing the net. I didn't know the BN had a reunion every year. i served with Lima Co. from early November 67 thru mid August 68. There's a lot of Lima names missing. We have a reunion every year. Just had one a little over two weeks ago in Washington DC. Next year in Charleston, SC. I served with some that are listed on your site; Ollie Forte, William Klawitter, Doug Young, Alfred Wyant, Wally Loucks (Gunny) and Robert Snowden (Skipper).

Comments: Hello Jar Heads I Rrecently came across this site and was reading the roster of names. You seem to left quite a few names off. is there a reason? I know that all those not listed have passed on. The Gunny
Comments: My father is Capt. Gerald C. Bacon, USMC, Retired. I am currently going through his military memoribilia and am excited to have pictures of some of you! One in particular lists: Leroy, Marion, Brazetis, Lark, Melendez, Kear, Bledsoe, Langston, Benton, Robinson. It's dated December 1967. He also has the Navy Comendation Medal for December 27, 1967. I know so little of the history, and am looking forward to venturing into this. Thank you!
Comments: I am trying to find some one that might have been with a Marine named W. Culberison? I have no first name and he was with platoon 290 at PI in June 1966. I saw also that a Thomas Crowley was listed with Mike 3/5 and was wondering if he was in same platoon at boot camp as I have been looking for him too. If any one knows either would please email me or call 302-492-3740. We have located 35 from the platoon and also ten that have deceased. Thank you all. Semper Fi Marvin Fortney
Comments: Greetings from an "older" 3/5er in Korea. My old skipper of Hotel 2/5 ,Vietnam, Gene Bowers, told me about your reunion process. He later served with 3/5 in Vietnam after a tour with us H 2/5. I had the great privilege of fighting with Able Co. 1/5 during our raid on Hill 31A, UnGok, and then with weapons co. 3/5 as demolition specialist and machinegunner with How co. 3/5 and George Co. 3/5 during our so-called Nevada Cities battles on Outposts Vegas, Reno and Carson. I was on Vegas and then Outpost Dagmar (named after the starlet Dagmar for their common shape)the night the war ended. Colonel Walt was our commanding officer of the regiment and Captain Kriter was weapons c.o. with Lieutenant Quinn our platoon leader. They were the finest of the fine in my opinion. Of course in those days we had different battalion arrangements and organizations as well as different company mottos. The words on our George Company Colors were: They shall not pass by George! The best one I thought was on the colors of Item Company: Fight'em with Item, we're hell when we're well and we're never sick! I borrowed this for my weapons platoon with Hotel 2/5 in Vietnam. I see someone who can't spell put the words "Get Some" on 3/5's colors! It should read "Git Some!" In Korea the Fifth Marines used to say "you may stumble and fall but remember to always fall forward! Thank you for this opportunity to contact you and the wonderful bunch of jarheads of 3/5!
