I would be happy to post your father's name on the site. I would just need his name, rank, division, etc. Yes, I believe We The Children (and grandchildren ) of WWII vets made a tremendous impact on us. Hi Mike,

My father also served with the 11th Marines at Peleliu. He passed away in 1987 and I sure wish I had tried to connect with some of the guys that he served with in I-3-11. I find it amazing that all of us children of these amazing men have been so impacted by the service in the Marines and especially the participation in the Battle of Peleliu of our fathers.

This unit was named Combat communication Unit 43-E which consisted of approx 90 officers and men. I assignment was to accompany the 1st marines and set up a larger type of radio communications then that usually used at this time. I went ashore on Sept 16, l944 and was relieved in April of l945. To date no record of this Unit is on record with the Navy records dept. Any possible info on this unit will be greatly appreciated by me.A big thanks to all the great Marines at this battle.
