My Uncle Jerry (Ford) survived all 3 campaigns; Guadalcanal, Peleliu and Okinawa my uncle is the 3rd Marine from the left bottom row, he was the oldest Marine in the platoon for all three campaigns and was called the pappy of the platoon. I would like to send this picture in memory of him and the 1st Marines.

Thank you
