I SERVED IN ITEM CO 3RD BN 7TH MAR IST DIV FROM DEC 5, 1950 TILL SEP 10,1951 IN THE 3RD PLT 2ND SQ AS A SGT IN KOREA. I WAS A MEMBER OF C-1-7 TWICE ONCE IN 1947 THEN IN CHINA 1949. THOUGH MY TIME PERIOD IS DIFFERENT MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU MARINES THAT SERVED IN C-1-7 IN 52/53, JUST FINISH READING LEE BALINGER'S BOOK U.S. MARINES IN KOREA VOL.1: 1952. HOPE YOU KNOW THAT THE HISTORY OF C-I-7 FROM WWII, KOREA, VIETNAM, IS SOMETHING ALL YOU MARINES CAN BE PROUD OF. I'LL BE IN SAN DIEGO, CA AUG-9-13-00 AT THE TOWN AND COUNTRY RESORT HOTEL AND ANY MARINE FROM "SUICIDE CHARLIE" IN WELCOME TO THE "FIGHT'EM WITH ITEM" HOSPITALITY ROOM BY THE POOL AREA. GREAT TO BE ALIVE AND "I HAVEN'T FORTGOTTEN". BEST RICK SUAREZ I-3-7
