<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 87133, member: 1910&quot;]My great-great uncle (my great-grandfather&#039;s brother) fought at Belleau Wood, where the Germans coined (pun intended) the name Devil-Dogs.&nbsp; That great-great uncle stayed in the Corps between the wars, and ending up fighting in the Pacific in WWII.&nbsp; He died as a Colonel, and is buried in Arlington.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was the Hudson High (West Point) commemorative a few years ago.&nbsp; The USAF is coming up on its 60th anniversary as an independent branch of the military (2007).&nbsp; I&#039;d love to see the B-52, by the way.&nbsp; Almost as old as USAF.&nbsp; As for the Navy, well, the top two submarine commanders of all-time in terms of tonnage sunk (both Americans in WWII in the Pacific) are still alive, although they&#039;re not in the best of health.&nbsp; They&#039;re certainly worth a coin.&nbsp; Even the Coasties deserve a coin, I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
