my dad john carfi/pharmacists mate third class

Correction...
I am looking for anyone who may have known my dad, John B. Carfi,Pharmacists Mate Third class, 2nd Battalion, 29th Marines Reg, 6th Marine Division. He was in Newport RI from 12/3/43-1/25/45. Then to Bainbridge, MD 2/3/44-3/17/44. Then to USNH Phila PA 3/17/44-4/7/44. Camp LeJeune, NC from 4/8/44-5/29/44. 29th Marines from 5/29/44 to 5/18/44 when he was injured. I believe that was battle of Sugar Loaf Hill. Sent to USS Samaritan until June 19th where he was sent to a US Naval Hospital #10. I think it may have been Aiea Hawaii. Then sent to Corona Naval Hospital from 6/16/45 to 11/6/45. Then to USNSH Asbury Park from 11/11/45-1/25/46 when he was given honorable discharge. Sorry about all the dates. I don't know any more about his service. I'd love any details from anyone regarding what ship he might have been on from North Carolina to Guadalcanal..what ship he was on from Gudalcanal to Okanawa, etc....thanks!!
