Re: Dan Reap, 6th Marine Division, 6th Tank Battalion, Company B

My father, David S. Hawley, was in the 6th Marines, 6th Tank Battalion, on Okinawa. He was wounded there in May 1945, in an action for which he was awarded the Bronze Star, and authorized to wear the combat "V". I don't know if my dad was in Co. B, nor if he knew Mr. Reap, but since they were in the same outfit, I suppose there is a chance. Dad passed away in 1995. I have his citation, discharge papers, and some other documents related to his service, but no yearbooks. The only photo I have is of him receiving the Bronze.

Thanks.
Jeff
