Kermit Shelly, who was the commanding officer of 3rd Force Service Regiment from March 1967 until his death in June 1968. Shelly had a profound impact on the restoration of the local community and his most notable efforts include the construction of an elementary school, middle school, church, community hall, multiple private residences and the island’s water reservoir. Fricks is a native of Texas. Johnson is a native of California. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Jesse Davis)
