* NOTE: Number 22 Wounded "Bogart" was definitely wounded. Larry, as he was called, had a very serious head wound. He had an operation in Australia, was discharged and became a salesman in Pittsburgh for Orange Crush. Larry did well at his job – he was always a great talker. Sadly, after increasing disabilities from Multiple Sclerosis, Lary died in about 1961. He was a very positive person, always confident a cure for MS would be found to save him. He left a wife and two sons. Few will ever know the morality he possessed. He refused a government pension upon discharge from the Marines, stating that he was able to provide for himself and there was no need to be paid for his war wounds. Who knows how the wounds may have been connected to the MS with which he was afflicted? Larry, aboard ship, also served as a Captain's Orderly. Thinking back, he was neat, intelligent, and a gung-ho Marine.
