Fighting Marine While walking the hallowed ground of the beautiful National Cemetery at Ft Rosecrans earlier this summer, I came upon the final resting place of Lt General Edward Craig, USMC. Searching back to my Marine Corps history lessons of many years ago, I recalled that it was 62 years ago that Eddie Craig, and his 1st Provisional Marine Brigade, added their name to the long list of our nations’ heroes.

Yesterday while showing my granddaughters around Pt Loma and the beautiful Ft Rosecran's National Cemetery, we came upon the resting place of Lt General Edward Craig, USMC. As I searched back through my Marine Corps history lessons of many years ago, I realized that it was 62 years ago this summer that then Brig Gen Eddie Craig and his First Provisional Marine Brigade sailed from San Diego to the Republic of Korea.They were dispatched at the urgent request of Gen Douglas MacArthur after it…See More
Mike McIntosh commented on Mike McIntosh's blog post 'Leaving Coronado for Oklahoma'"Thanks for your comment Josie. I agree with you on Walters and Oklahoma. It is different than Coronado but also a good place to live."
Josie commented on Mike McIntosh's blog post 'Leaving Coronado for Oklahoma'"My husband is a Sooner born in Lawton, OK. We moved 11 years ago back to OK to Walters.
We like it here. It is a different world from Coronado, but ok.

Mike McIntosh commented on Mike McIntosh's blog post 'Leaving Coronado for Oklahoma'"Dvorah--Are you a Sooner? We have found a few of us in Coronado and always anxious to know more."
Mike McIntosh commented on Mike McIntosh's blog post 'Leaving Coronado for Oklahoma'"Thanks for your comment Vincent. You are right about this part of the country. It has a lot to offer and we love it. We are fortunate in that we don't have to choose one or the other. It is always exciting when we come to Coronado and then…"
Mike McIntosh commented on Mike McIntosh's blog post 'Leaving Coronado for Oklahoma'"Thanks Lynne. Everyone is fine. More of a surprise than anything although there was some damage near the epicenter. By the way, just had another 4.7 after shock during a day filled with tornadoes and severe storms. When did George leave Norman?"

Leaving Coronado to return to our other home in Oklahoma is always a bittersweet experience. Leaving our beautiful island and our Coronado friends is sad, but we are always happy to return to our home and many friends in Norman.
