Thank you for your service to our great country my brother. Semper Fi.

Private First Class John Duff Gayman, Served with Battery C, 1st Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from Karen Weiner are poignant and reflect the anguish experienced by so many who lost loved ones in this war. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

We planned a future together which, of course never happened. He was well loved by those who knew him, he was a patriot, and proud to be a marine. I look for the time I will see him again. I also thank Jerry Kline for the comfort he gave. Please provide him my e-mail if he asks. I'm grateful for all those that provided this opportunity. God bless you all and this land.

Dear PFC John Gayman,
Thank you for your service as a Field Artillery Cannoneer. Happy Thanksgiving. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
