John Gali

Comments: If anyone knows about my dad, John Gali, from the Big Island of Hawaii, please let me know of his character in youth and his main level of communicating with regular folks. I just want to know if I am living up to his level of right-ness and teaching my children to do the same. I hope so. He was in the Marines with a special force group of sea-diving guys that dove and set explosions and also diffused bombs-that was all he could talk about. He spent the rest of his life missing his brothers in the service and serving his community. He died fishing and fell down on a rock, hitting his head while looking for his net. I just know, he kept his identity and always looked back to you boys as his true home-can anyone find him for me-to let my children get a sense of his strength and here mine (and theirs) will come from?-Thank you for your help-Danielle

Floyd L. Dixon Ssgt

Comments: I am looking for anyone that might have known my late father Floyd L. Dixon Ssgt USMC. Dad was with the Marines that landed in Puson and later Inchon. I believe he served under Chesty Puller. I am interested in knowing about how he was wounded. I have this citation for the bronze Star he receieved and I am looking for anyone that might have known him. His citation reads in part, as follows, if this helps:

"For heroic achievement while serving as a Property Sergeant of Headquarters Battery, First Battalion, 11th Marines, First Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy agressor forces in Korea on 4 December, 1950..."

Before Korea, he was a WWII Marine fighting throughout the South Pacific, joining the Marine Corps in 1939. In later years Dad was a member of the local chapter of the Chosin Few here in Oceanside CA, and returned to Korea with others in '93 for the Anniversary of the Inchon Landing.

Anyone out there that knew him I would sure like to hear from you. He passed away in 1995 and we still miss him terribly.

My husband John Gali C/1/11

Comments: I'm sorry to say that I only now been able to come here and let those of you who knew my husband John Gali that he passed away less than two months afer he posted his last message. He died (June 5, 2006) from a massive heart attack right after he got done diving at South Point, Hawaii (The Southernmost Tip of the United States). He loved the ocean but he loved the Marines more. I remember there many were times he'd come home from a day of fishing at South Point and he'd say that he ran into another marine that remembered him in Korea taking a shower in the snow. He also ran into former marines when they would come to visit Hawaii and walk into the restaurant that John was playing music. He would be so excited when someone walked up to him and told him that they remembered him. John was fortunate to have died doing what he loved doing the most. He would always tell me that he would die at the ocean. Not everyone can choose the place where they are going to passaway. He did. He was layed to rest on Saturday, June 17, 2006 at the Naalehu Community Cemetary in his hometown. It will be a year that he passed away and it seems like he left us just yesterday. We will be remembering his life at a celebration on Saturday, June 17, 2007 starting at noon in the big pavillion down at Punaluu Beach Park. John may you rest in peace! We love you!

Do you know me

Comments: I am just begining to remember some of our life there. I do not know how I did it. I guess I had some sort of brain blockage. I do recall a buddy (name unknown)and I had to play dead until our FO group re-took the hill we were on. Another time in the south on our way to help the army I fell out of the truck on my head and taken to a med unit. On Dec 3 from Yudam-ni to Hagaru-ri two officers and about 8 enlisted (I was one of the enlisted) had to bring up the rear of the convoy to hold off an enemy company while pickup the kia. I had to take ammo off the kia because of the shortage. If any one remembers any of this or me I would love to here from you. (The only name I remember is Pfc Gray)
