MARCUS SOLDIER IS MEMBER OF FRANK MERRIL’S MARAUDERS
Pfc. Lloyd J. Tentinger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Al Tentinger of Marcus, is now identified as a member of Brig. Gen. Frank Merril’s Marauders, who won the coveted presidential citation for their exploits behind Jap lines in Northern Burma, says a press release from New Delhi, India.
At one point along the route of march, Tentinger and his unit were pinned to the ground for 36 hours by enemy artillery fire only to fight their way clear and continue the advance.
