I'm reposting this because jimboyfan2 has provided several links in the comments to tell us what happened to Gunnery Sergeant Norman Elijah Moore. Thank you, jimboyfan2.
I recently found this page from Physique Pictorial Vol 31, issued in August, 1978. Here we can confirm Norman was indeed a marine, and a career one at that.
Thank you for sharing a Real Marine.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, my 7th cousin (through marriages) is no longer with us. He died at age 51. Links:
