Unedited US Marine Corps Motion Picture Film INACTIVE - ALL ITEMS SUPERSEDED OR OBSOLETE Schedule Number: NC2-127-85-01 This schedule provided disposal authority for records previously accessioned into the holdings of the National Archives. Per NARA Directive 1540 – Reappraisal and Deaccessioning of Archival Federal Records: An internal disposal is the permanent removal of a discrete set of an accessioned series of records from NARA’s physical and legal custody, from any number of physical locations (up to and including all physical locations), because they have been reappraised as temporary, without affecting the existing disposition authority for any remaining records. This removal can result in the records being destroyed, permanently returned to an agency, or donated to another organization. It is assumed that the schedule was implemented after the record scheduling process was completed (concurrence by the agency, notice to the public via the Federal Register, and approval by the Archivist of the United States).

Letter from the President “Without a witness, they just disappear.” These words about honor & respect for our dead appeared in the 2009 movie,Taking Chance. And they remind me of the importance of keeping alive the memoires of our war dead. In other words, by bearing witness we are keeping alive the memory of our beloved comrades who died in Vietnam. “Remembrance” is one of the tripods that holds up the brotherhood of the USMC Vietnam Tankers Association. It is imperative that each of us helps with this memorial. Need I remind you that if you die with your own story of your time in-country untold, there may be no witness to keep your memory alive. The longer that you wait to put it down on paper, the fuzzier it becomes.
