Volume 25, Number 3 Fall 2010 Munro Memorial Service in Cle Elum, WA Nephew of Famous Coast Guard Hero Implores All Coast Guardsmen to Attend Annual Ceremony Sept. 27, 2010 marked the 68th anniversary of the heroic actions performed by Coast Guard Signalman 1/c Douglas Munro, officer-in-charge of landing operations at the Battle of Guadalcanal in the Pacific’s Solomon Islands. Facing a barrage of enemy fire, Munro played an invaluable role in the evacuation of 500 Marines from a heavily surrounded beach in Guadalcanal. In doing so he paid the ultimate price. For his efforts, displaying the highest level of the Coast Guard’s Core Values, he was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor in May of 1943 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In memory of his actions, approximately 40 Coast Guard members and military veterans gathered at Munro’s gravesite in his hometown of Cle Elum, Washington, to attend his annual memorial service. The ceremony was brief but meaningful. Hosted by Coast Guard CAPT Robert Klapproth, the ceremony featured a color guard routine, 21-gun salute and some endearing words from guest speakers Cle Elum Mayor Charles Glondo and Munro’s nephew, CDR Doug Sheehan, USCGR (Ret.).
