In an effort to honor all Marines who served in support of Operation SHUFLY, our office is in the process of locating Marines from the squadrons that participated in this Operation. We are contacting Marine websites in hopes you can help by including the short paragraph below on your site or in an upcoming publication, newsletter or blog. We desire to get in contact with as many Marines as possible in hopes they can participate in Operation SHUFLY commemorative events this year. "Headquarters Marine Corps, Division of Public Affairs, is currently organizing a series of commemorative events in honor of the 50th anniversary of Operation SHUFLY, the first U.S. Marine Corps engagement in combat operations leading to the Vietnam War. If you served in one of the squadrons listed below as part of this Operation, DivPA is interested in speaking with you to discuss your possible participation in a commemorative event in 2012. Interested Marines should contact Jeanette Casselano at 703-614-1034 or by email at jeanette.casselano.ctr@usmc.mil." If you know of Marines who are interested in learning more about possible commemoration events, it would be helpful if you could have them provide the information below to Jeanette Casselano (Cc'ed). Full name: Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your time. Respectfully, Craig W. Thomas Com: (703) 693-5179 |
