Thank you but it was a bitter sweet experience. A couple of months ago I tried to locate a buddy Fred Acton Northcott Mcfaddin from Texas. I was able to locate his first wife Louise from around Cotula Texas. She said Fred was a lost soul and passed away in 1995. I didn’t ask how.

That's really sad. I just got into Facebook a few months ago. More and more Marines from my company are getting on there. It's really cool to see where everyone is now and where they have been. One guy was wounded 3 times in Iraq while serving as a sniper. Now he's an officer stationed in Okinawa. I'm not sure what he does over there. Very cool though. Another guy that was a private with me is a Platoon Sergeant and has been to Iraq mulitple times and is about to go to Afghanistan. If you are ever in the Fort Worth, Texas or Little Rock, Arkansas area shoot me a PM. I'd like to share stories with you. It seems like you have some very interesting ones.
