you are correct about that being the indian ocean and Somalia, but this HOGS name isn't Lopez. I know a Lopez from 1/9 but he was a motorman (not a sta marine) who was killed in Mogadishu. Reason I asked for people who know this Marine is he needs our help. If you know him you may want to contact me. If you know this war dog PM me.
 
Re: Recognize this HOG?

Is is something others in the LR precision shooting community can help out with?
 
Re: Recognize this HOG?

If there is a Marine in need, speak it plain and those of us who can will help.
 
Re: Recognize this HOG?

ABSOLUTELY appreciate the offers for help. However Mitch (the sniper in the picture) has asked me to only divuldge this personal matter to the people he knows personally. I assure you he appreciates your requests to help as I do too. Again the thoughts are appreciated but not looking for any cash contributions.

Re: Recognize this HOG?

Must have come in just after I got out as 1/9 is my former Bn and STA barracks were right next to mine, but I don't recognize him.

I wish the Marine the best. Wish I could help.

If their is anyway that I may be of service please let me know.
 
Re: Recognize this HOG?

I served with this HOG when I was in 1/9 and 2/1. I think that this was taken when he was with the 11th MEU. I'll PM with an inquiry as to how I can help.

This is him with the 11th MEU. He is fourth from the left in the prone.

Re: Recognize this HOG?

Thanks for all the thoughts. Trying to gather some old pics of our platoon and for Mitch to enjoy. Got some cool pictures to foreward to him and talked to a few other snipers that were stationed with us over the years who are going to send some pics to keep spirits alive. Appreciate all the thought from everyone out there. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: donniedee</div><div class="ubbcode-body">anyone have any updates on what this HOG needs?</div></div>
