Personal Memories
People You Remember Golf Co, 2nd Bn 5th Marines, 1st Platoon Cmdr.
Memories My platoon got a KIA Viet Cong, who actually commited suicide because we had him cornered. He pulled a grenade pin and fortunately only got himself and not my point who was looking over the rock at him below.
