For info: The December Leatherneck issue will feature a story on a late dear friend and mentor, SSgt Karl G. Taylor (MOH), who died close to me during Operation Meade River - December 1968 in Vietnam. SSgt Taylor was the Company Gunny for India Company, 3rd Bn, 26th Marines. I was one of the very young Platoon Sergeants he mentored and looked after till his last breath. A Marine's Marine. May he rest in peace.

Respectfully and Semper Fi,
F. Phil Torres
Colonel of Marines, Retired
