THE WALL OF FACES

I served with Doc Bodamer in A/1/13 on hill 55 outside DaNang. I never met a nicer man, a more caring and dedicated Corpsman. I last saw Mike a few weeks before he was killed. I visited him at 3rd Force Recon while my Battery remained overnight in Hue Phu Bai e route to Khe Sanh. We traded war stories, laughed and talked of “the World” If there was a nicer guy, I haven’t met him yet and I’m 79. “It takes man’s best to do man’s worse” RIP.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from Jack Cazier-Hollis are especially touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us...

I just sent a picture of Doc that has been hanging on my wall for decades. At the time of the picture, he was assigned to Bravo Company, Third Recon in Phu Bai, and later transferred to Force Recon. It was a sad day when we heard the news.

On the remembrance of your 74th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Doc.

Thank you Doc Bodamer for your courage and for your devotion to your Marines.
