a
nice little guy in the jungles there. He was at the time 16 years

After getting to the aid station..and off to recovery..he was given the
choice of discharge or stay in.. (he was by now 17)..he opted to stay in
..and - after serving in Korea and Vietnam..he retired from the US
Marines.
Charlie was awarded "2" Purple Hearts and the Silver Star. After his
Marine
Corps retirement he went to work for the Sheriff's Department in Ft

very
much missed. Gene
