Good luck on your journey!  I am a year out now!  Couldn't imagine not having had surgery now.

Topic: Beckley WLS Support Grp Mtg 11/19
Hi Everyone! The Beckley WLS Support Group meeting will be held on MONDAY, November 19, from 7:00-9:00pm at Raleigh General Hospital on Harper Road, Beckley.   Guests are welcome and everyone is encouraged to attend!  (Our meeting location changed a few months ago.  If you haven't attended in a while, please see the directions to the new education building and meeting room below.) This monthOur special guest is Dr. Robert Shin, head of bariatric surgery at CAMC.  Dr. Shin will be available to discuss any weight-loss questions you may have!  We are also having our annual PROTEIN TASTING PARTY!  Want to try a new protein supplement?  Have some protein powder you didn't like, but don't want to throw away?  Or just have a great protein supplement you would like everyone to try?  Bring it to our protein tasting party in November.  Lenora will also bring samples from BariatricEating.com.  Cups & water will be provided.  If you need anything else to mix your particular sample, please bring it along.  If you don't have any to share, don't worry...sharing isn't required! We will also discuss our Christmas Party in December.  The turnout in 2006 was great.  If you don't attend any other meetings during the year, please plan to come in December and catch-up with everyone! Directions to the new meeting room:  It is a new building behind where our old one used to be (this building has been torn down).  You will see a wheelchair ramp and some steps leading to a glass door.  There is a sign that says "Education Center."  It will be fairly obvious once you are there.  There is parking to the rear of the building, so you won't have to park in the main parking lot.  This is a permanent change of meeting place. You can view our monthly calendar by visiting our support group website at http://www.geocities.com/beckleywlssg/  The 2007 meeting dates are also listed below. Looking forward to seeing you on the 19th! Beth ------------------------------ 2007 Beckley WLS Support Group meeting dates (all Monday meetings): November 19, 2007 December 17, 2007 - Christmas Party (If Raleigh County Schools are cancelled due to weather the day of our meeting or the following day, the meeting is cancelled also.) ------------------------------ If you would like to receive an email-reminder for the Beckley WLS Support Group Meeting, please email us at [email protected].

Robert Melvin Lough, Jr.
Staff Sergeant
HQ CO, HQ BN, 1ST MARDIV, 3RD MAF
United States Marine Corps
27 August 1941 - 23 February 1969
Moundsville, West Virginia
Panel 31W Line 009

The Headquarters, 1st Marine Division, compound came under attack during the early morning hours of 23 Feb 1969. The Headquarters Battalion's Command Chronology contains the following entry: "The Division Command Post perimeter came under enemy ground attack at several locations. The defense line was penetrated at two locations and it was necessary to commit the reaction company and one of the provisional rifle companies to counterattack and restore the lines. Artillery fire was delivered to seal off enemy withdrawal and HU-1E gunships were called in to strafe the hillside behind the Division CP.

"Casualties: Enemy: 18 KIA and 1 POW. Friendly: 9 KIA and 29 WIA."

It was able to identify ten men assigned to HQ Battalion, 1st MarDiv who died on 23 Feb - but it is possible that one of them was not involved in the attack on the Division Command Post. The ten men were:

SSgt Robert M. Lough, Moundsville, WV, HQ Company (Silver Star)

HM2 Jose A. Ollivier, Covina, CA, HQ Company 

Cpl Paul J. Mitchell, Mahanoy City, PA, Service Company

Cpl John P. Ziegler, Altoona, PA, Service Company

LCpl Pete G. Heckwine, Des Plaines, IL, HQ Company

LCpl Christopher D. Prather, Minneapolis, MN, HQ Company

LCpl Victor A. Rabel, Wheaton, MN, Service Company

LCpl Woots E. Wadkins, Sciotoville, OH, Comm Company

Pfc William E. Null, Williamson, WV, HQ Company

Pfc Larry D. Staggs, Black Rock, AR, HQ Company
