George, I am sending you a picture of the Marker. I purchased it in California, shipped it to my Neice in Longview, TX. They installed it in Russellville, Arkansas. I have included some of the correspondence to the VA, the cemetery in Mississippi, Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, asking for assistance, however you are the best assistance I got, after almost 4 years I am proud of your advice about “ IN MEMORY OF”. That made it happen for me. Again I am so glad you gave me the advice to continue.
Yes, I was at Gulfport for a school, and shipped out to Desert Storm in 1991 from Gulfport. NMCB-16 retired from CBMU 303 in 2000.
