From 1941 to 1945, they served bravely. They were brothers, they were brave, they were courageous... they were Marines.

Jim wanted me to share this with everyone. It's a letter from Anita Velazquez to Jim regarding her Uncle Bill (William H Rollins). She writes to thank him for providing info on her uncle's role during the war. It deserves to be read.

Happy Birthday Clementine! Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

I am looking for some information so I can have dog tags re-punched for my grandparents and have a few questions to be sure of accuracy. My first question is; is there a record of what was on GI's dog tags anywhere so as to not have to guess about info? If so where? If not, my second question is; who is usually used as the next of kin, mother or father? Third question is; I am having trouble finding the correct blood type to put in, where is the best place to find this if there is one or is that just pouring through in family records?

Thanks for any help anyone can give,

Dan

Serena Altschul traveled to the mountains in Danby, Vermont to see where the marble used in many of our National Cemeteries is found to commemorate our country's war dead.
