FMF Corpsman Memorials
In honor of the FMF Corpsmen who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. God bless them forever, they will never be forgotten.~DR
"It's our understanding that the first Corpsman to be killed in Vietnam was HM2 Gerald O. Norton, age 23. He was killed on Oct. 6, 1962 while supporting HMM-163 on a combat mission. Along with Doc Norton 7 out of 8 on board were killed. David R. Ray was one of the first corpsman to be awarded the Medal of Honor. He was Killed In Action in March 1969. There is now a ship named after him." ~Mike "Doc" Lerp
