Dance to honor fallen Marine with proxy beau
Frances Newteen, aged 18, in white chiffon dress, kept birthday date with a proxy Marine from the Second Division after her brother’s death. Sergeant William Angelos Jr. traveled from Denver to Warner Robins Field to escort her at a candlelit dance hosted by the Fourth Marine Division. The event, arranged by Brig Gen Cates, featured orchids, gifts, and a birthday cake as she danced and remembered her brother with Marine support.
