Well done, Captain Hunt. Thank you for your service as a United States Marine. Casualties resulting from friendly fire seem to plague all of our combat units. The toughest job of a casualty assistance officer is explaining to loved one how they happened. I left active duty as soon as I returned home, so I never had to serve as a casualty assistance officer. The idea of serving in that capacity scared the crap out of me. Facing the enemy in combat was child’s play compared to facing grieving parents, wives and children. I don’t think I would have had the courage to do that.

Thank you for your service Captain Hunt. I would of been proud to serve under you. I served under a Lt. John Glenn with the 1st BN. 1st Marines and was proud to serve under him also. I learned a lot under my First Sergent Flores Diez and he was a great Marine also. I was wounded on January 19, 1969 by a tank we were Medevacing a fellow Marine on hit a mine and blew us all off of it. I spent 3 to 4 days in the Danang Hospital and returned to my unit and because of my hearing being damaged, I resupplied the troops with everything they needed. I was and am proud to be a Marine and to be able to serve under people like Captain Hunt. Semper Fi Marine. SGT E.M. Stewart
