Re: Re: Easy Battery, 2nd Battalion..15th Marines

My Dad James Criscitello was in the 3rd Battalion, 15th Marines, 6th Marine Division.
Do either of you remember him? It is probably so difficult to remember names, but I do have a photo, if you would like to see it, feel free to email me.
Thanks.

Re: Re: Easy Battery, 2nd Battalion..15th Marines

My Dad PFC. Donald C. "Ruddy" Rudat served with the 3rd. Battalion 15th Marines. I am looking for information about what these Marines did, where, etc.. I have several ,photo's of my Dad and some of the fellas he served with.

Re: Easy Battery, 2nd Battalion..15th Marines

Hi Joe,
My Dad was with the 15th Marines on Okinawa and was on a 105 gun as well. He passed away a couple of years ago and would never tell me much about his war experiences.

My Dad's name is Pvt. Donald C. Rudat

All he could tell me was that he remembers a Banzai charge on his camp and some of his buddies got hit from grenade scrapnal alsoremembers going into cvs and routing t theaps and aso being fired upon with trassers near the capital of Naha.

I am proud of his association with the 6th Marine Div. I am proud of you all.

Thank you,
