Hi all, I post this to this list occasionally in the hopes that I might contact someone who served with my father. I'd like to contact anyone who may have known my father, Walter MUELLER of Chicago. He was in the Marines from 1939 - 1946 and was involved in the following operations: Paratrooper training at NAS, Lakehurst, NJ. He attained the rank of SSgt. IwoJima campaign 19 FEB 1945 - 27 MAR 1945. Choiseul Island engagement. Occupation of Japan. Guadalcanal, 2d para bn. More details are available for any who may have served with him. My father passed away 22 NOV 1981. See my Father's memorial pages at: http://www.wwiimemorial.com/default.asp?page=registry.asp&subpage=search&drawtable=YES and http://coyote.csusm.edu/public/netnav/semper_fi/taps.htm I have in my possession his military records, including his medals, and some other momentos including his Marine Scrapbook that includes quite a few photos, mostly taken in California. I am in contact with the Paramarine Survivors group. I'm also aware of the following, and post to them occasionally. http://genforum.genealogy.com/wwii/ http://ww2.vet.org/default.asp http://www.historyforums.com/viewforum.php?f=4 http://www.historyforums.com/viewforum.php?f=3 http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/board/an/topics.Military.wwii http://forums.military.com/1/OpenTopic?a=frm&s=78919038&f=828197221 http://www.veterans.com/ Thanks for any help, all will be appreciated.
