Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from fellow medic Ron Smith is moving and reflects his admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

I remember Doyle when we were in the same company at Field Med School at Camp Lejune, NC. early spring/summer of 67. He like most of us Doc’s who were going green was so very proud to being trained to serve with the Marines. Doyle was really “gung ho”. While in same area with my unit while on operation Kingfisher,
I remember G 2/4 getting overrun and hearing of His death. We lost so many during that time. I was with K 3/4 and like 2/4, spent time at the ‘washout” as well as Conthien, Cam Lo, C2, A3, etc. I knew Doyle would go above and beyond the call for his Marines
which he did out of love and respect.
With gratitude
Ron Smith HM3
K 3/4 1st Plt. 67-68

May this remembrance find you in the eternal Holy Kingdom of our Lord.
