The Coast Guard Combat Veterans Association is a Non-Profit Corporation of Active-Duty, Retired, Reserve, and Honorably Discharged Former Members of the United States Coast Guard who served in or provided direct support to combat situations recognized by an appropriate military award while serving as a member of the United States Coast Guard. 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.).

    TEXAS FIGHT The History of Naval ROTC at The University of Texas at Austin Volume II 1960 - 1980 Edwin W. Mergele, III, CDR USN (Ret) TEXAS FIGHT The History of Naval ROTC at The University of Texas at Austin Volume II 1960 - 1980 Edwin W. Mergele, III, CDR USN (Ret) Copyright © 2014. All rights reserved. DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin W. Mergele, Jr., who both majored in history at The University of Texas and inspired in me an appreciation for that subject. Dad served in the Coast Guard (under the Department of the Navy) during WWII, in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters, and was recalled by the Navy for the Korean War. He instilled in me an appreciation for the sea services and, in general, service to my country. I especially recognize the WWII NROTC alumni at Texas, many of whom it’s been my privilege to become personally acquainted with, and many of whom helped me document the early years of the unit. Lastly, to all the other men and women who have stood the watch to preserve our liberty and freedom, I also dedicate this work. Foreword TEXAS FIGHT, The History of Naval ROTC at The University of Texas at Austin is an engrossing account of the Unit’s history, and we are indebted to Ed Mergele for the research, dedication and determination leading to publication. So to Ed we say Bravo Zulu, the signal flags for “WELL DONE.” He is to be especially commended for resurrecting the history of the classes 1947-50, a time of transition from wartime to peacetime.
