My Aunt Margaret Taylor was a lady Marine 70 years ago and is now in the VA Hospital in Syracuse, NY. She would love to hear from other Marines. She will be 80 next month and served 4 years. She fell asleep before we could ask her where she was stationed. She did say had the was not eneded she would have stayed in the Marines. It was great to get what little info we could from her.
Hi Sue, Your Aunt Margaret is a very special lady, and a very special Marine! I would love to send her a note, and will also forward her info to our local NC-3 Semper Fi Chapter. I assume this is the address: Syracuse VA Medical Center, 800 Irving Ave, Syracuse, NY 13210. Attn: Margaret Taylor. Take care and please tell your aunt Semper Fi from all of us! Sgt. Sherri Russell Homme
Prayers going up to a sister Marine. Please thank her for her service. She was a trail blazer and we that have come after her will be forever grateful to her and others of her era. Semper Fi

I wrote a poem for Sgt. J. L. Winters in 2003. Would you care to post it.
Could someone please tell me how to place an obituary in the Women Marines magazine for a friend of mine, Mary K Bennett, who passed away May 22, 2015 in Portland Oregon? She was one of the first Women Marines in the early 40’s.
I have posted her obit to the Women Marines Association page on FB and notifed WMA National as she was a life member.
My life member number is 2621. I enlisted in June 1961. I was secretary to Gen. Ennis, then Gen. Murray. I was an E-3 Lance Cpl. My service is not my soc.sec. number. I would like to begin receiving the magazine again, online or paper. Semper Fi
