Norman and I were in Golf 2/1 at Camp Pendelton and Viet Nam when he was killed along with two other Marines from Golf Company. We had a memorial service for him aboard the USS VALLEY FORGE (LPH-8), on 8 December 1965. Norman and the other two Marines were the first KIA's from our company.

I think of Norman and the other Marines we lost often. It's just something that doesn't leave your heart. Semper Fi, Norman.

Your Marine brother,
John (Jack) Leniger
Sgt G 2/1 and F 2/4
