I offer my heartfelt condolences regarding the loss of my dear brotha and fellow USS Belleau Wood sailor, Gary Dwight Allen, Sr. I last saw him in 1988 in San Diego and we lost contact after that. I'd been searching for him for years only to find this devastating news. Fair winds and following seas, my brotha.
