HyperWar: U.S. Marine Corps in World War II Plenty of excellent reading here.

The 245th birthday of the USMC God bless those no longer with us and thank you to those who are still here. Some of us never forget your sacrifice. This was a special year for the USMC Red Blood Black Sand.

Thank you Dan I really appreciate you posting these stories. Well written and honest I appreciate you taking the time to type them out for us to read.

Hopefully everyone is ok there I saw the explosion video also. What a way to wake up. Unfortunately I've seen this all too recent in my own family and prayers are up for everyone who lost their homes.

St. George fire was outrageous. I worked North Bklyn at that time and we had a ton of work on Clark, Pineapple and Hicks repairing drop wires, cable and wiring apartments that went up in 111 Hicks and other buildings. Amazing scene.

Nice work thank you sir! Maybe the Transit Boxes should be red just to be able to tell them apart in the zoom out view. Just my opinion.

Maybe Box 624 Linden Pl and New La.

Anyone know why Richmond Engine 1 wouldn't get a call to respond here? They could get there just as fast as 165/85 and they're closer than E159. It seems like they never get any runs when they're closer than other companies. They dispatched E151 on the 2nd alarm when my sister's house was on...

That building looks like a strong breeze would take it down! Hard to believe it stood that long.

Closest I can find is probably Box 3016 Hylan & Malone.

Busy tonight 2nd alarms in Bklyn and Queens.

FF Vernon Cherry was in the band that played at my wedding. He had a great voice and I remember when my wife and I went to hear them for the first time. the reason we chose them was because of Vernon's and the lead female singer's (Phyllis) voices. They were excellent. I made a couple requests...

I was looking at John Calderone's book and the year before the fire alot of companies got Mack C model pumpers. As you said not E18 though. Could their next new pumper have been a Mack CF? That would mean they had the '54 a couple more years into the late '60s. I'm no expert but I think the...

Never got to see the SP or the Tender in operation that must have been something to see. I saw it around Bklyn a couple times that's about it.

I thought so. I worked in that building many times it used to be owned by Jehovah"s Witnesses its now condos. It had to be pretty tight getting an aerial ladder that high at the right angle on that block!

Glad to see they found this pos Chief. Very sorry for your loss. I hope this can give you and his family some satisfaction.

Wasn't that the old Standish hotel on Columbia Heights? I remember that picture also.

Looks like back to the 70's.

For anyone who might not have seen this. I did not film it but I got there by about the last 5 min of the video when TL85 shut down.

Thank you CFD unfortunately they lost their pets which has been tough for all of us. When they're able to start rebuilding things should get better.
