3 Flags



As they stand now, these 3 flags and 1 memorial honor 2 Marines. One is Major Douglas Zembiec and the other is Lance Corporal Aaron C. Austin. What was their relationship to each other? (outside of New Mexico.)

I think that Major Zembiec and Aaron served in the same Company; which was E Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment. Therefore, their relaionship was that of 2 Marines serving in the same Company...one Marine a Major and one Marine a Lance Corporal. I think.

Major Zembiec was Aaron's unit commander (Captain at that time). He wrote the letter to me that is in Operation Homecoming, and he put Aaron in for his Silver Star.

Good job, Deborah!
