Marines Honor A Fifth And Sixth Regiment Hero With Fund For Car
A long excerpt from Leatherneck recounts how Fifth and Sixth Marines veterans, led by Chaplain Niver, started a fund to buy a Ford for Doc Clifford known as Doe Difard beloved by the unit. The aim is to honor the war veteran after France service and to keep his memory alive as he transitions to civilian life. Funds have begun with $15 already turned in, and more contributions are being sought through unit channels and the Leatherneck publication.
