  • I knew your name was familiar. I don't know why I am listed as the founder of this site. I don't know about any patch. The guy that started this Navy Veteran Site is listed on the opening page.

  • Hey Jay - we have talked on Facebook - were at Pendleton around the same time.  I tried to find an FMSS "group" on facebook, without success.  I did however find this site. So far, no hits from anyone in my old company.  Did you create this group in NAVY VETERANS? 

    PS: Do u know how I night get a patch to match the logo in this group.....? 

     

    Thanks

Does Anyone remember my Brother? FMSS early 1967

Hello to all, and Thank you all for your service!  My brother HN Gregory P. Vercruysse went through FMSS at Camp Pendleton the very first part of 1967. He went to Viet Nam in late April, early May 1967, then to B/1/26 H and S.   He was on Hill 881S. While on a patrol he was mortally wounded in an ambush on June 7, 1967 while aiding a wounded Marine. If you knew my brother I would appreciate hearing from you, and my apologies if my terminology is not correct, this all happened when I was 8 years…
