George was my Team Leader while we were with B Co. 1/27 in Hawaii during '66 and '67. He was the best Marine of us all. He was my friend. It is still hard to believe these young men we knew so well were taken so suddenly. I miss George and all of our friends who didn't come home. Mike Moore Posted by: Mike Moore
