Ex Marine new to all forums

I take it this is where I'm supposed to send a message if I'm new.

My name is Sterling Mace. I was a Marine Corps rifleman at Peleliu and Okinawa. I am now 86 years old and making a lot of new friends online. Many people seem to be interested in the book I'm writing about my life before and during the Marines. It was suggested to me that I join some forums in order to get to know a few more people. This one seems to be the largest WWII forum their is.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you very much, gents. I served with the 1st Marine Division, K/3/5. I was in the 3rd platoon, 3rd Squad, 3rd Fireteam. I was the BAR man on my fireteam, until I lead a fireteam of my own on Okinawa.

 

Yes sir, that is me. Except that advert for our little WWII get togther was an old one. I was ticked that they only put Okinawa on there, when I was one of the first ashore on Peleliu and Ngesebus. So they changed it. The new advert looked like this:

Unlike most of the members here I am from Australia, so we delt with the direct thread of invasion so the appreciation we have for the US military personnel both Army and Navy and of course the air force branches is very high. So with that I would like to say thankyou for your service the greater good of the world, men like you are what created this world and keep it safe.
