• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Symbolism in a coat of arms

Oh yeah, my G-G-Grandfather may have potentially been in NZ after participating at Guadalcanal.
(*according to the official narratives regarding the overall accounts of USMC units arriving here.)

Hopefully he wasn't one of the 900 casualties slaughtered by japs at Tarawa, Gilbert Islands (*Kiribati).

That has entered my mind as well. Those killed may be a good start. Many times you can find the pictures of them
