Need help for history of USMCCCA

Jack Paxton and Dave Biesel are attempting to put together a brief historical piece for our 75th anniversary meeting in Fredericksburg, VA next August.  Hopefully, the publication we prepare and distribute will lead to an extension of our current unofficial history, “Last to Know, First to Go”.  To do this we need your help. If you read Last to Know, you know that the early CCs were critical of the system and said so.  We would like the same feelings from you.

If you were a major “player” in one or more of our engagements.  We need to pick your brain on the events you were involved in either in Public Affairs or Combat Camera.  Specifically, we need your impression of the following:

Engagement:  (Korea, Vietnam, Beirut, Iraq, Afghanistan etc.)
Major engagements you were involved in, either in support or actual.
Your Name, rank at the time and outfit attached to:
Period of time:
Your job:
Key players involved with you:
Equipment you used:  (typewriter, camera, broadcast, etc.)
Problems you encountered and how you overcame them:  (be honest, if you were blocked from doing your job somehow, explain.)
Innovations you were involved in or saw happened that affected your telling of our story.  (Examples:  Korea:  typewriter, getting news out vs Iraq:  DVIDS, cell phones, satellites and laptops)
General:  Your honest opinion on how things were and how they could have been better.
