E-mail: Contact 		My father, Nicholas Granich, Sr., served in the UMB 423 2nd Marine Bombing Squadron 1943-45. He spoke very little about his experiences during the war. He is paralyzed without speech at the age of 86. Any information you could provide about his service would be appreciated...his grandchildren are now old enough to talk to their grandpa..but he can't speak. God bless all those who fought to safeguard our precious freedoms.

E-mail: Contact 		My father in-law Anthony C. Mezzelo was a Seahorse Marine.He was shot down and ditched in the water over New Ireland,(all survived)He was a TAILGUNNER! I had the HONOR of meeting his pilot Ken Meyer in the early 90's and was fascinated at the stories he told.My father in law has since passed but I am just in awe of what those guys did at their age.I just attended a air show in Chino Ca. and was Proud to see the B-25's flying only to imagine what it could have been like.I'm proud of his service and would love to know if Mr. Myer is still with us.I know he lived in Orange County Ca. Anyhow, they WERE the GREATEST GENERATION and THANK GOD for THEM>

Name: LCDR Rich Slonim, USN (Ret)
From: Charleston, SC
E-mail: Contact 		Yesterday, I had the honor and pleasure of escorting CAPT Robert Ryan to the WWII Memorial as part of the Honor Flight Lowcountry trip on 24 April 2010.
Bob is a fine gentleman, a pleasure to travel with, and he shared many stories of his tour with VMB-423. I, in turn, shared a few of my sea stories of my tour with Company L, Marine Support Battalion, Phu Bai Combat Base in 1968-69.
As part of the tour of monuments, Bob escorted me on my first visit to the Vietnam Memorial--a visit I have put off for many years.
You should be proud of your squadron mate, as we are all proud of you.

Name: Oran C. Harris, Jr.
From: Raised in rural Cincy, Ohio
E-mail: Contact 		My Uncle, David Harlan Harris was a South Pacific marine serving as a navigator/bombadier on PBJs. I see a "David H. Harris" on your roll list, so this must be him.I recall his talking about being navigator on night missions to Rabaul. In the fuzzy crew pictures, I saw a couple faces that looked like him. I am VERY proud of him as well as his older brother who served 44 months over there in the 37th Buckeye Div.
