Belated Funeral for Marines Killed on Guadalcanal
At Arlington National Cemetery five families gathered to mark the belated return of five Marines killed October 9, 1942 on Guadalcanal. Discovered in 1970, their unmarked graves were reinterred after decades of absence, honoring Pfc David Johns, Pfc Eugene Johnston, Cpl John Suggs, Pvt Paul Gagnon, and Pfc Godfrey Hunter Jr. The ceremony recalled wartime loss for the Johnston and other families, with Mollie Johnston’s plea finally fulfilled.
