Mr. Holland, My late wife's grandfather, Capt. Thomas D. Warner, was the CO of the USS American Legion when they landed elements of the 1st MarDiv on 7August 1942. I am sorry my wife is not still alive to see your RUclips channel.
Loved the Jibber Jabber Dave and Joe, quality indeed. No matter how much you hear and read on the Goettge Patrol there's always another stone to be upturned on the subject. I recently found a 16mm reel on an interview Grandpa (Frank Few) did on the Goettge Patrol titled "Guadalcanal, one mans memories" filmed by the ABC here in Australia in the 70's i believe. I'm working on a projector and will try and digitise it... I also have a copy of that Leatherneck Magazine edition Joe mentions, happy to send a .pdf copy.
Very good to see you upload and very interesting talk with Joe Mueller. I always learn something from your videos and there were some unique facts and perspectives in this one. Hope you're doing well Dave! 🪖👍
I read an article a few months ago that a US Coast Guard Cutter was denied access to Guadalcanal. The gist of the article is that the Chinese are having an increasing influence on the local government there, is this true?

Always a pleasure to see both you and Joe. Hoping to see both of you soon

Listening to you both makes me want to go back and read the Tregaskis book. I read it the first time in 48 years ago(!) when I was in the 8th grade.
Thanks. I keep going back to parts of it all the time.

Thanks mate. Would love to see that film. Also if it’s no worries send the pdf of the article to me via email.
Hope you can post it, thanks for your comments

Thanks. Joe is a good guy and wealth of knowledge.
Hi Dave,
Are you still living in Canberra?
Cheers 🍻
Yes I am!

Yes that’s correct.
