I just had a note from Carl LaMonica Sr, webmaster of the Camp Holloway web site. (http://www.corecomm.net/~cjlsr/)

Carl was thoughtful enough to send a 119th coin to retired CSM Chuck Holloway, son of CWO Charles Holloway, for whom Camp Holloway was named. His note to me:

* * *

Bob,

Thought you would like to know one of the coins is now
in good hands with Chuck, the son of CWO Charles E.
Holloway. I told him the coin was presented by those
who followed in his father's footsteps in honor of all
81st and 119th aircrews who served at Camp Holloway.
His reply upon receiving it is included below.

Thanks and best regards,
Carl

BTW-Another coin is in the hands of my son, a Captain,
U.S. Army Infantry, who was honored to receive it, and
now keeps it with his own 75th Ranger Regiment coin.
