My Great Uncle Jeriod Merle Tate USMC 1st Sgt

Died of his wounds received during the initial assault on Guam, he was transported back to his ship, where he succumbed 3 days later. May God have a place of eternity for my Uncle Jeroid Merle Tate, and the rest of his Devil Dogs and all the men and women who paid the ultimate price.

Uncle Jeroid, or as my father called him Uncle Jerry, was involved in many of the South Pacific campaigns before his life ended, he fought in the jungles of the South Pacific from island to island, he was war tested. He received his 1st SGT rank during a battle field commission in an earlier island campaign.

 

We proudly named our son after my Great Uncle, we wanted to name him with a meaningful name.

As a side note, his mother did not get the news of his passing for an entire month, news just moved slow back then. The photo below was taken at San Diego's MCRD. The Western Union and the image are both in our possession, as family heirlooms.
