From the Helm Gary D Nasby- Commandant

Hiram I Bearss Det 089

JUMP IN BECOME INVOLVED

My Rambling Thoughts for this month

One of the things that has bothered me in

my four years as Commandant is that no

matter what we do or event that is happen-

ing in the Detachment be it gun show Par-

ties BBQrsquos Pancake breakfasts Gun shoot

competitions work parties or whatever

that I send out notice to our members that the event is going to

happen I can count on seeing the same people all the time

I know we have older members sick members out of state mem-

bers and working members but I would like to address the mem-

bers who have the ldquoAPATHYrdquo disease or ldquosome one else will do

itrdquo feeling

You are just as much a member as those that show up all the time

and your presence is are needed at these events just as much as

those members who show up all the time And I donrsquot mean just

show up Become involved in the Detachment Attend a meeting

volunteer to work on a committee pitch in on a working party or

at a BBQ or membership dinner cleanup or whatever BECOME

INVOLVED I know I am bad as many are in not trying to involve

all the new and old members in our activities but it is because I

am involved and just forget to remember you

Jump in make me know that you are there and donrsquot let me or

anyone else in the Detachment forget to involve or remember you

We are all Marines and I think if you become involved you will

find that those that are there all the time have become friends and

maybe that is the problem Friends tend to be friendly with each

other Jump IN Break our circles and make a hole for yourself in

it We will gladly accept you I promise We are All Marines or

Associates in this Detachment and need to become One Unit

Jump in You can make it happen

If anyone has any ideas to help this process please let me or any

of the Officers know Discuss it with us

In this issue you will find the new 2014 version of the member-

ship application This new one includes FMF Corpsman as eligi-

ble for membership

I am available at for your comments and discussion

Commentary by Jim Wadendash MCL Department of Indiana Commandant 2014-2015

One of the main stays of the Marine Corps has always been the Corpsman who risk his life nearly every time he is

called to go forward to a wounded Marine

Our Detachment lost one of the finest Thomas ldquoDocrdquo Terpinas on August 13 2010 He was a 6th Marine Division

corpsman from the battle of Okinawa fought in 1945 and was a China Marine I donrsquot know his entire history but un-

derstood that he returned from the War went to medical school became a surgeon specializing in Oral Maxillofacial

surgery rejoined the Navy retired with the rank of Captain and wrote several medical books and journals which

helped the medical practice throughout the world

Hiram I Bearss Detachment 089 presented Doc with an Outstanding Achievement award and plaque at the 2010 MCL

Dept of Indiana Department Convention in 2010 At the presentation is when I found out what a wonderful Marine

Gary Nasby truly is He stood beside Doc who was wheel chair bound but had stood to his feet to salute and accept the

award from Department Commandant Russ Eaglin and Gary was there to assist him And as I watched Gary and saw

the tears of pride and love he had for Doc Nearly every Marine in the room had tears in their eyes Gary looked like a

giant beside small Doc Terpinas but had brought him to meetings for several years

I am truly thankful that Connie Hamm and I got to visit with Doc at his nursing home before he passed away Olrsquo Doc

was quite a ladies man and to get that last hug and kiss from lovely Connie was the best gift he could have gotten before

his trip to Heaven

He was a great friend and I miss him God Bless you Tom you lived Semper Fidelis

2 June 1918 At dawn on this date the crack German 28th Division attacked along the axis of the Paris-Metz road hitting the American 2d Division including the 4th Marine Brigade The Marines opened with deadly rifle fire and helped hand the Ger-man troops a setback which set the stage for Marine victory at Belleau Wood which would soon follow although at great cost

12 June 1961 President John F Kennedy signed a Presidential Proclamation calling for the American flag to be flown at the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington Virginia at all times during the day and night Discussions between the Attorney Generals office and Marine Corps officials earlier in 1961 on improving the visibility and appearance of the monument led to the proposal to fly the Flag continuously which by law could only be done by Congressional legislation or by Presidential proclamation

15 June 1944 Preceded by naval gunfire and carrier air strikes the V Amphibious Corps assaulted the west coast of Sai-pan Marianas Islands By nightfall the 2d and 4th Marine Divisions moving against heavy opposition had established a beachhead 10000 yards wide and 1500 yards deep

25 June 1950 Shortly before dawn eight divisions of the North Korean Peoples Army crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded the Republic of Korea Within three days the South Korean capital city of Seoul had been captured On 30 June President Harry S Truman ordered a naval blockade of the Korean coast and authorized the sending of US ground troops to Korea Two days later General Douglas MacArthur the Commander in Chief Far East formally requested that a Marine regimental combat team be deployed to the Far East

25 June 1966 In Vietnam Operation Jay began about 30 kilometers northwest of Hue and lasted nine days The 2d Battal-ion 4th Marines landed north of the North Vietnamese 812th Main Force Battalion and the 2d Battalion 1st Marines landed south of the enemys position Caught in between the two Marine units the enemy suffered over 80 dead in nine days of fighting

26 June 1918 BGen James G Harbord the Commanding General of the 4th Marine Brigade notified American Expedition-ary Force Headquarters that Belleau Wood was now US Marine Corps entirely After 20 days of combat and at a cost of over 4000 casualties the 4th Brigade of Marines had proven its fighting heart The grateful Commander of the French Sixth Army would soon decree that in all official correspondence Belleau Wood would henceforth bear the name Bois de la Bri-gade de Marine
