I was in the SEABEES -MCB Mobile Construction Battalion 74. I traveled to many parts of the world. I was never on a ship. I was in construction. This prepared me for the task of owning a ac/heat/refrigeration company in TX. What a journey. I thank God for His Blessings.

Larry Olson
Class of 1967
Marine Corps, 4 Years
Served in the Corps on active duty from march of 1968 till 1972. Spent most of my time as an MP in the states and 1 tour overseas. Didn't do much of anything special. Proud to have served and my rank was a Marine Sergeant when I got out. I waited about 40 years and in 2011 joined the Marine Corps League. I have been very happy to work hard the last 2 years in Chicago areas Toys for Tots campaign and other ways to help our fellow Vets and their families. Semper Fi to all who have served over the years. I think its great that in recent years our returning troops are mostly treated very well across the country. God bless you all and thank you for your service. OLY
