At the end of 1981, while serving in the US Marine Corps, as a Infantry Platoon Sergeant for 7th Marine Regiment, I started work at 0500. After a full 12 hour work day and then at 1800 we started a 25 mile Force March on foot with weapons, pack and gear. We completed our mission at 0230 the next morning. After getting gear and troops turned in, I was heading home at 0300. Fatigue set in and I went off a 200' rock cliff. I was found at 0530 and in a coma. I was wearing my MC Hawaii Rodeo Team Buckle and Eisenhower Medical Center removed it at the time of accident in ER. I never seen it again. Molly's made a replacement for me after my buckle went Missing In Action (MIA) for 35 plus years. Thank you Molly's Custom Silver. Sgt. B USMC 1978 - 1984
