E-mail: Contact 		My grandfather, Orville C. Walker, is sitting here with me viewing this informative and interesting website about his service in the Marines. Grandpa was a Staff Sergeant who served from 1942-1945 and he spent the majority of his time in the Pacific. I was also honored to tour the WWII Memorial in DC with him and my grandma just a few years ago at the annual reunion.

E-mail: Contact 		This is an awesome website. I'm sorry my dad, K.O.Dahlgren, aka. The Spam Kid, didn't live long enough to see this. He would have loved it!!!! He was so proud of his Marine Corps days and all of you. He enjoyed all of your reunions immensely and looked forward to all of them. I forward this website to my 5 brothers and sisters so that they can enjoy it too. GREAT JOB! Love the music.

Name: Peter Hopkins
From: El Cajon, California
E-mail: Contact 		It took me a long time to find this site. I regret to inform that 1st Lt. P.D. Louther passed away Oct. 17, 2006. He had resided in La Mesa, California and was retired from Pacific Telephone Co. He was a close personal friend and co-worker for many years. He is survived by his wife Dorothy and a son, Jack and wife and grandchildren. He talked little about his experiences in WWll but was a great friend to many of us, one that we sorely miss.

Name: Scott Peters
From: Mission Viejo, California
E-mail: Contact 		Very good site. My dad is Allen T. Peters and although he is not listed on the roster, he has told me about his time at Emirau with VMB-433. My dad was a 1LT pilot when he got out of the Marines after the war. He went back in as a SGT in air trafic control and retired from El Toro in 1964. I grew up as a "Marine Corp Brat" mostly at Cherry Point. I noticed one old family friend, Roy Kibbee on the roster. My parents were lifelong friends with the Kibbees and I worked for Roy at his California Camper Mfg company when I returned from Viet Nam. My dad is now 86 and living in Mission Viejo. I would be more than happy to pass on a message from anyone who knew him in those days.

Name: Bill Chambers
From: Anaheim, CA
E-mail: Contact 		I grew up next door to Ed Braze (Brazauskas) in Anaheim, CA. I put his name (it's also his son's name who went by Sonny) into my search engine and found out something I never knew about him. I wasn't aware that he was a Marine Pilot in WWII. I know the same story that Bill Berry wrote about his brother Vic and the VariEZ. I watched them build it from the beginning. I knew him as a mechanical draftsman, organ player, and neighbor. His wife Dorothy passed away a few days after my son was born in August of 1977.

I have very fond memories of him and his whole family.

Name: Wendy Sage
From: Mobile Alabama
E-mail: Contact 		Elton Leix is my Uncle. He was in Squadron 433, Mag. 61 as part of the repair and maintenance crew. He didn't get his medals, which is a shame. He's written to Senator Mike Rogers of Michigan and got no help. But he's very proud to have served as a Marine in this squadron, but he doesn't have a computer and can't see this page. If anyone remembers him, please feel free to write. If anyone has any photographs (all respect to the Pilots) that contain photos of him or any of his crew members (other than pilots because we have those) I would love to hear from you.

Name: Dan Dieringer
From: Wenatchee, Washington
E-mail: Contact 		Great web site. I really enjoyed reading about my Dad's squadron.

He started several stories about what he went through in the war, but could rarely finish them due to the tragic memories. As I learn more about what the squadron went though, I can now understand why. Sergeant Leroy Dieringer, radio/gunner.

Ironically, my Son now has essentially the same job on an AC130U.
