Charles ("Fats") was a classmate of mine. He was a quiet and very nice guy. Later in life I married one of his older brothers and became his sister-in-law. The last time I saw Fats was before he went to Vietnam ... he was home on leave and came to visit us and play with his new nephew. He was very happy to be home. We named our second son after his Uncle Charles. Charles will always be remembered as a good friend and brother. In his belongings send home he had bought an outfit in Vietnam for his nephew. I still have it. Charles had a good heart and always thought of his family.
Love from your sister-in-law, |
A Note from The Virtual WallThe format of Mr. Osborne's entry above indicates that it came from a Command Chronology's "Significant Events" section or more likely from the battalion's Operations Journal - in any case, a contemporary operational report. Regretably, The Virtual Wall has not been able to obtain the 1/3 Marines Command Chronology for February 1966, but we are perfectly prepared to accept the entry at face value. |
