Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if
they have ever made a difference in the world, but

the Marines don't have that problem.

-- Ronald Reagan --





PFC David Balades, a passenger, was one of 21 men who died when a CH-46D (BuNo 153360) of HMM-262 was shot down. His widow, Carol L. Balades Valles, has published a tribute to her husband on the Pop-A-Smoke site.
