I HAVE A SPEAKING ACQUAINTENCE WITH SUCH MATTERS SINCE I AM THE TREASURER OF THE SURVIVORS OF FOX CO., SECOND BATTALION, SEVENTH MARINE REGIMENT, FIRST MARINE DIVISION IN KOREA. HE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST HEROS OF WWII, AND IN MY OPINION THE NAVY CROSS WAS INADEQUATE HE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE MEDAL OF HONOR. I REALIZE THAT IT WAS HIS CHOICE NOT TO, BUT I JUST WISH TO HONOR HIM BY SEEING THAT HIS DECENDANTS HAVE SOMETHING PHYSICAL TO REMIND THEM OF THAT PHASE OF HIS LIFE. I AM A 1952 GRADUATE ALONG WITH JIM LOVELL, TOM STAFFORD, AND TWO OTHER ASTRONAUTS, AND I BELIEVE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN OUTSTANDING MIDSHIPMAN AND GRADUATE. COPELAND’S CHILDREN AND/OR GRANDCHILDREN FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING THEM WITH A WELL-DESERVED MEMENTO OF ANNAPOLIS, WHERE HE “ALMOST” WENT. I WOULD APPRECIATE HAVING THE ABILITY TO CONTACT ONE OR MORE OF ADM. Pingback: A Uniform for an Ordinary Joe | The Veteran's Collection All of his siblings have passed, and I know he would be so touched to have information on Eugene. If anyone recalls or has any information on my uncle, I would love to pass that information on to my father. In another twist of fate, when Pete was in a VA hospital in Spokane, WA, he met a man who was in the hospital next to Eugene just before he passed. The brothers got to see each other just days before Eugene was killed. Shortly after, the sailor came back with Eugene. After some visiting, the other sailor put two and two together and told Pete to stay right there. He started talking to another sailor at a bar. Pete was in port, about to ship out the next day. Shortly before his brother, Pete, passed away, he did give some fascinating information. His other brothers were reluctant to talk about it other than to say “it was basically a suicide mission”. My father was not quite two years old when Eugene was killed, and therefore never got to know his brother.
#KENAPA MEDAL OF HONOR ALLIED ASSAULT RIP STOPPED WORKING MOVIE#
Was this movie ever made, or still in the works? My uncle, Eugene Wagner was one of the crewmen. I would like to give the photo to my brother for Christmas, If anyone reading this can help me, I can be reached at the va hospital email ↓ These photos of the boat are the only things we can get our hands on if possible to remember our father and all the veterans that served and gave there life so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. I would also like (2) extremely large photos of the USS Samuel B Roberts, So that I can have one for my self and also one for my brother Mark Mcgrath who was also Harolds son, there are other children in his family that we are trying to contact. I would like to know if there are any of his buddies still alive that can probably give me some information on what kind of man my dad was, ok I know he was a sailor so I wont be shocked, I am also a veteran USARMY. I currently work at the veterans administration Castle Point Hospital (EMS) dept. He was a sailor aboard the USS Samuel B Roberts and wounded in action. I just recently found out that my biological Father Harold Wieners passed away 2-4 years ago. Happy Holidays to all you veterans, My name is Anthony Wieners.
