WWII Marine, Guy Gabaldon Receives the Navy Cross

[marexvr]

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Gabaldon a few years ago. It still blows my mind why this Marine did not recieve the CMOH........ The countless lives that were saved on both sides... Just don't make sense.

@marexvr he wasn't white and the enemy wasn't. not hard to figure out. i think he deserved more, but it is what it is.

Guy was Mexican-American and that makes me proud too know i had 2 tios (uncles) that have fought for this country.It makes me proud to say i'm AMERICAN OF MEXICAN DECENT!

@jacobR1377 He is all American and nothing else. I don't brag about being of scottish or irish decent, i brag about being among the most heroic Americans that ever lived, who just didn't get lucky enough to get the bullet for the Medal of Honor. You are all American, or well you should be. Best country this world has ever scene.

Oorah.

The movie "Hell To Eternity" is my favorite WWII movie. I have not seen it on TV in a while. I wish they would show it again...instead I get to watch Independence Day over and over and over and over...Don't these stations have the budget to buy more movies????

Thank You for posting this. I Met Ohana in Monterey Park at the memorial service. I was the one that brought the WWII Marine uniform and placed the M1 garand in the ground.

I look forward to seeing the monument to your dad. Let me know if i can help in any way.

He should have received the Congressional Medal of Honor instead.
