Comments: FELLOW VETERANS OF THE 3D MARDIV: EMMETT QUEEN WAS IN D/1/3 AT THE SAME TIME I WAS AND WE MET AT THE REUNION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 31-32 YEARS. I SPENT AS MUCH TIME WITH EMMETT AND "DOC" PATTON AS POSSIBLE AND RELIVED SOME EXCITING TIMES. AT THE 1/3 MINI-REUNION ON THURSDAY EVENING, I MET SEVERAL OTHERS THAT WERE IN D/1/3 AT THE SAME TIME, BUT I DIDN'T REMEMBER THEM. THAT DIDN'T STOP US FROM ENJOYING MEETING AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. AFTER READING EMMETT'S LETTER, I KNOW THE REUNION WAS A SUCCESS. YOUR FELLOW MARINES AND CORPSMAN ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN VIETNAM. I HAVE KNOW IDEA WHAT IT WAS LIKE ON IWO JIMA..BUT..I RESPECT WHAT THEY DID. THEY HAVE BEEN MY HEROS! ALL I'VE EVER ASKED OF THEM WAS TO RESPECT WHAT WE ENDURED IN VIETNAM. WE DIDN'T SET THE POLICY OR DECIDE HOW THE WAR WAS TO BE FOUGHT. WE ONLY GOT TO FIGHT IT AND A DAM FINE JOB OF IT WE DID. THE YOUNG MEN AMERICA SENT TO VIETNAM WERE AMONG THE FINEST EVER. YOU WERE EXCEPTIONAL MEN DOING AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB...I SALUTE YOU! AS EMMETT POINTED OUT..ATTEND THE NEXT REUNION IN JULY 1999 IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON. WE ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT A MINI-REUNION FOR EACH OF THE BATTALIONS REPRESENTED AT THE REUNION. THE ASSOCIATION REALIZES THAT THE VIETNAM VET RELATES MORE TO HIS UNIT, SUCH AS, 1/3, 2/4, 3/9, 3D TANKS, ETC.. PLEASE GIVE A REUNION A CHANCE. WE ONLY WANT TO SHARE YOUR HUMOR, YOUR FEARS, YOUR SEA STORIES....WE WANT TO BE A FRIEND! AS THE IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE VIETNAM VET IS TAKING HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE 3D MAR DIV ASSN AND IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER AS OUR NUMBERS GROW. HELP US BY HELPING YOURSELF...GET ABOARD AND PLAN ON SPOKANE IN JULY 1999! SEMPER FI.........RON BURTON

Comments: PSALM 23 (U.S. Marine Corps Version): The Lord is my Supreme Commandant; there is nothing I shall requisition. Fresh and green are the fields where he gives me rack time. Near restful shores he leads me, to boost my low morale. He marches me along the right trail, he is "semper fidelis" to his name. If I should charge into storms of lead no death would I fear. You are there with your map and compass; with these you give me liberty. You have prepared the chowhall for me in the sight of my foes. You anoint my head with a high and tight; my mug is overflowing. Surely fair winds and following seas shall follow me all the days of my tour. In the Lord's own camp shall I stand easy for ever and ever.
