Happy Memorial Day Weekend

Before you fire up the barbeque, we should not forget those that lost their lives in the name
of freedom so that we could be free today to strike that match.

A short prayer or just a thank you would be a great gesture.

Sick Bay

May 21. Received this from Charlotte Tringali, wife of Guy, MM3  M  Division 1950-1954
Hi Dom, Just want you to know Guy is in the hospital and may go to rehab soon. He had pain in his left side, they said he had diverticulitis then they said he had a perforated colon. They did an emergency operation and now he has a colostomy bag. Doctors hope it will be temporary and that they can reverse it in three or four months.  He is in pain, but trying. They had him walking today, it wore him out.  Charlotte Tringali


May 23
Hi Dom, They moved guy at 4pm today to the Radius Health Care Center for Rehab in Plymouth Mass if things go well he could be home in two to three weeks, will keep you posted on how he progresses. Charlotte Tringali

Guy could use some get well wishes.  You can email him or if you are a member and need his home address contact me at, Dombb64@ptd.net
