Mr. McHugh,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USMC in Korea as a member of the 1st Mar Div. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines in Korea at places like the Pusan Perimeter, Inchon, Seoul, the Chosin Resorvoir, the Hill Fights, the Punchbowl, and the Outpost Line 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.
