VETERANS REMEMBER

World War II   George Marquis

George Marquis
George Marquis dropped out of college in 1943 to join the Navy, and was soon accepted into submarine duty, where he was assigned to the USS Bergall following a rigorous training program. He was on board for all five of the Bergall's combat patrols, hunting in the Japanese shipping lanes around Saipan, near French Indo-China, and in the South China Sea, Java Sea and Indian Ocean.
