Comments: Hello all: I am back on the logbook after some absence and just wanted to say that I am here in case you may have questions. I can't promise I have answers but I can try. My Dad was Bill (William Parks) and he was in the squadron. I know family members are finding this site and that is wonderful. They were a great group of guys and over the years, we got to enjoy at least 4 generations of family members at reunions. Semper Fi.

Comments: To John Dillon Chloe, WV,
I don't know if you will get this but your father was part of the Ground Defense Squadron VMB-433. I have my grandfather's Squadron Book, which has pictures and names of who is in each department.

Comments: My Grandfather Corporal Richard Meyer worked in Ordinace Squadron VMB-433. He said his job was "to blow s*** up." Eventhough he served during WW2 he was a proud Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine! He passed away October 11, 2004.

Comments: Hello, My grandfather was part of Marine Bombing Squadron 433 but I do not see him listed on your roster. I am trying to see if anyone remembers him or has old photos of him during this time. Can anyone help me get him on the roster or possibly know anyone who remembers him?
James M. Hawley was his name.
Thank you!

Comments: While sorting through some things, I came across one of your patches. I didn't know where it came from, so after Googling it, I realized it may have been my father's. Sure enough, I found him on your roster. He never talked much about the war. I only knew he was a Marine, and had served in the Philippines. I never knew what his unit was. You even have a picture with him. Unfortunately, he passed in 1996. He was always proud to have served. Norman E.Dillon, from New Haven, CT.
