Mr. MacDonald,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC and USMCR. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines in the "Old Corps" that all of us Marines who followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Semper Fi Devil Dog!

To the best uncle any one could have I could always talk about my interests such as my trucking company any time I was in the area. He always said stop by if I had a delivery in area. Iwould stop and the First thing he would do is bring out the camrea! If I had no idea where I was going uncle Allen would say get in my car paul, I will show you where your going. He was a very special person to me, along with my father I will miss them both very much. I Love You,
