Paul William Messenger

Paul was my RAT buddy at NMMI. Later we landed in the same troop together and were roommates. My best friend on the Old Post. There were so many stories and jokes. In boot camp, he was in the series behind mine. The last time I saw him (but far from last we spoke) he held the door for me going into the chow hall at MCRD. One of the finest gentlemen and blessings in my life. Brother Cadet. Brother Marine. Brother in Christ. You're loved and will be missed here until we meet again.

In Marine / Naval tradition...Fair winds and following seas.
