Malachy Murphy was featured in this 1950 Time-Life Magazine
I am conducting an “all hands” search for a fellow Marine and someone I grew up with in a Catholic Home (St. Agnes, Rockland Co., NY) in the early 1940’s. I am not even sure he is still living.
My “missing Marine” is Malachy Murphy, born on November 25, 1929; if still living, he would be 81 this year (a year older than me). He was discharged from St. Agnes in August 1947, and presumably joined the Marine Corps shortly after that. Since there is a very unforgettable (but unidentified) 1950 Time-Life photo of him, perhaps, because of the nature of your members duties, this poignant picture might ring a bell with some of them.
