You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

For anyone following, I think I've been able to track down Marine Rivenburgh' s unit. The only one I can find that was at all these stations was the 22nd Marines Regiment.
It's fascinating to research things like this. What one learns on the side adds so much color to the entire picture. For example, Ulithi had a lagoon that could hold more ships than Pearl Harbor, and we made it a fleet support base. It had floating dry docks capable of lifting battleships completely dry, a ship with a machine shop and base metals that could cast any alloy and make any part needed, even one ship that could make up to 500 gallons of ice cream per day! (Always the little things that help!)
