My Dad

Comments: My father, Jesse F. McCloud, passed away on July 1, 2004 just 3 months after my youngest daughter was born. It was a tremendous blow to the entire family, my middle child took it very badly. His grandfather was not only his best buddy but his hero too. My father served in both Korea and Viet Nam, 5th Marine Regiment 1st Bn. I would greatly appreciate any knowledge, stories, information that anyone could provide for me about my father. He didn't talk about his time in the Service and when he got out he worked a lot to support the family he so loved so I have nothing to tell my kids about their granddaddy. I need to know about my father and I need to be able to tell my kids about him too; please help if you can. Thank you and God bless all of our service men and women.

Able Company !st Batt 5th Marines

Comments: I am looking for anyone who may have served with my father William Lewis Kelley in Korea. He was wounded twice. His family was living in Elmira NY at the time he enlisted. He spoke little about Korea until he was dying of leukemia last year.

I have photos taken of him and several friends from training at Camp Pendleton, from Korea, and from some rowdy R&R in Japan. ;-)

I am a disabled former Marine myself and am looking to fill in the gaps in my understanding of my father.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hugh's retired and lives in Clanton, Alabama, which is where I'm pretty sure he's spent most of his life.
