Platoon 494

My wife was going through her parents old things and found her dads Marine Corps graduation picture. He was part of platoon 494 and was in the Korean war. Just thought I'd share the picture.

Interesting, that's a Michigan-heavy platoon. I count 14.

Probably the best platoon of the series.

WOW 68 Marines in a single Platoon. That's alot. We started out with 48, ended up with 40.
