I got sent to wars in places where I didn’t know they already hated me. I didn’t know I was supposed to hate them too. I got shot at and didn’t know it, thank Jesus they missed.
I’m adding him to my list of veterans to be remembered. From this day forward I will remember Brian E. Dunlop, a sergeant in the US Marines doing his duty and died. Brave soldier, you are cherished! I am sorry for your family, they miss you.
You know, I’m sure he thought that, but what I know is that I’m not surprised about how it happened.
His convoy as hit at the front by a bomb in a culvert. He’s a few vehicles back and of course he jumps out and forward to investigate and the second one goes off. No surprise he’d run into fire, it’s just how he was. He always did everything to the max. A lot of people loved that guy. He really did draw a crowd as a kid. The chicks all liked him. A lot of the dudes didn’t, for that reason, but he got along with everyone and everyone wanted to be around him. He was the guy whose house everyone went to for movies and parties and stuff. It really was surreal when he died, but not surprising. It’s kinda how like “only the good die young” thing.
It’s “Dunlap”, but look him up. He led a rifle squad and because of his rifle skills (marksman?) they name the rifle range at Camp Pendleton after him. He was also Cal Fire. Fuck it, here’s the link. I grew up with him in Sacramento. https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/brian-e-dunlap/index.html
My grandpa was a Ww1 vet, nobody visited his grave. I will drive there this week and leave flowers. I know he doesn’t give a shit. Like a good soldier. But I’ll do it anyway.
You live in that area? There’s a park in Fair Oaks called Patriots Park. It’s on Palm Avenue between Dewey and SanJuan, closer to Dewey. There’s a Patriots Wall there for all the local boys, firefighters, police, vets. Take a pic of that wall if you can go. It’s about fifteen minutes from the cemetery.
My grandfather was WW2, USAAF, 19th bomb group, South Pacific. B-17 co-pilot, bombing Japanese shipping lanes until his capture after being shot down on the island of Java. POW, 3 1/2 years along the Burma-Thailand railway project. You know the bridge? The River Kwai? That’s where he was.
Good god, no. He was born in 1918. He was 26 and an officer when the war started. His ashes are scattered over the Sierras. I hate that he doesn’t have a gravesite.
I think you can find it on Legacy.com. It’s a Catholic cemetery on Greenback Ln in Citrus Heights, I think. I’ve never been. I was at his massive service in Carmichael. They had one in San Diego that a bunch of guys went to, but I couldn’t. I also did not attend the graveside, but I’m sure it’s on Greenback Ln.
I really need to get out there someday. I can’t go this Wednesday, although it’s my day off. I have contractors coming to the house that I have to be here for all day. Will you send a picture if you make it? I don’t even know what the marker looks like.

i mean we know russia and ukraine are both beholden to jewish bankers who have a disproportionate amount of financial control over their countries. but imo most conflicts we tend to care about involve white people as the media is mainly western.

If he was here now, I’m sure he’d be one of us on here.
RIP “Little Brian”.
