  What the major is up to now

So there are no commissioned officers in USMC bands. . . or are there??!!

So when I emailed the band director (who knew I played trombone) to ask when tickets were available for the Christmas Concert (yes, actually Christmas and not "Holiday") he said, "Anytime. Hope to see you there. Do you want to sit in? Please?" The regular bass trombone player was on the sound board so I got to play with the band!! How 'bout that! After 20 years from when I told the recruiter I wasn't joining the USMC band so I could go to college, I'm finally playing in the band!! One more concert to go (Saturday) and I will have done all four concerts. What a shot of motivation for an old guy like me!!!

  Rest in Peace - Paul Fogel - 36th Engineer

Ah, have to agree with WWII veteran, John Fallon on this one. I too dread getting emails and letters returned, knowing that we've lost yet another wonderful soul and soldier.

 

 

I almost always get a kick out of sending a note on to my great Seahorse friends, but not always.
just learned that we have lost another old Seahorse Paul Fogel and our numbers keep shrinking. May he rest in peace.

Frank Nast Jr - 43rd Air Police Squadron

 

A few years ago, my nephew stopped by with his buddy and said he had a surprise for us. He knows how we are into military history, so he bought a Korean War chest and was delighted when he saw paperwork to go with it. He gave it to us and we were so thrilled. Thanks Jacob.

 

Well you know how busy I can get and I finally got around to scanning in all the documents. What a cool find.

 

Hope we can get in touch with his family somehow.

 

His # was AF 16 343 335

He was born on July 19, 1930

 

Here's to you Frank!!!

 

 

 

NOTE: Files were so large, I had to break them down even further. Sorry. Hope they are all in place.
