front lines. Back on the road, we began noticing bodies of Chinese soldiers. They were strewn across the paddies and occasionally on the road. Breaking into a clear area we saw hundred of dead enemy troops.
We were told that there were over 600 Chinese and North Korean soldiers dead. Apparently, our unit had been surrounded for a time. The bodies of the enemy were being placed like cordwood in a dozed out trench. Having been the bait and not hit at all made us feel good. We saw our tank along side the road with a thrown track. I don't know what happened to the crew. Semper Fi! "Bob"" I know that there are more of you Marines that were in this operation, so why not contact me with your version of this operation or other operations that might be of interest!

ruited him. He is assisting Muley/Betty with 11th Reunion.
TAPS I received a letter from Donna Lawrence that Robert H. Lawrence (her husband) passed away on 14 December 2005. He was in 1st Sqd 1st Plt - 10/50 - 12/50. He joined us on 1 September 2005 and was recruited by Ron O'Con  NATIONAL MARINE CORPS MUSEUM - 2006 Darlene and I had the pleasure of mustering with the A/1/7 WW II- North China Marines in Quantico, VA 18th - 21st of April during their annual reunion. We had a tour of the National Museum of the Marine Corps and got a birds eye view of this great facility that is still under construction. It was reported that it will be completed during the month of June, and will have a shake down during the |

month of August. It is scheduled to be dedicated on 10 November and will be open on both the 10th and 11th.
From what we saw and was told by LtCol. Scott E. Yost USMC, Operations Officer of the Museum, this is going to be one of the greatest attractions on the East Coast. Our group was in awe and appreciated having the opportunity to tour this facility. Remember we will hold our 12th Annual Reunion at Quantico, VA next October. Semper Fi! Shifty
REMEMBRANCE OF ALL OUR "DOCS" Dedicated To The Corpsmen Of The United States Navy "The Doc" to civilians they are known as land-locked sailors who know first aid. The media, as they blindly lump all servicemen as soldiers, refer to them collectively as medics the Navy classifies them as Corpsmen Or, those crazy guys who have chosen to jump ship get mean and dirty and go to serve with those other lunatics, Marines. But to us Marines they are the Angels of the battlefield, the life savers in camouflage, our Brothers. And we simply, respectfully, call them Doc! The combination of Marines and our Corpsmen is unique a partner- ship of two different military branches working continually as one. There is no other intra-service union like it a Marine combat unit can be likened to the Wrath of God, believe it with the addition of our beloved Corpsmen. This unit now also contains his mercy when a Doc first joins a Marine unit. They become his Marines Soon he will know them all by name and to his Marines he will always be known as their Doc! It is a bond that will last a lifetime a bond of brotherhood that few men can obtain forged in the horror of battle strengthened by the trying times they share. The Doc will fix you up, pronto from a slight case of trench foot |
