--------------------
His Great Nephew, Daryl Brown, grandson of Cloyd's brother Rayford, followed in Cloyd's footsteps and served with the 5th Marine Division in Operation Iraq Freedom (Feb 2005 - Oct 2005) & (Nov 2007 - June 2008).
My thanks to Paul F. Wilson, who originally listed Uncle Cloyd (and all the other men buried at the Punchbowl), and then upon finding out I was related, transferred the memorial to me. Thank you greatly Paul!
