Thank you John Doherty and Family
I do not know John Doherty, yet I honor his name every day. The street on which we live is named ‘Doherty’ as a tribute to John, and I wish I could tell him and his family that I pray for (and to) him regularly. I thank you, John, for giving up your young life for our Country. Although I don't know the Doherty family, my heart is with them for the sacrifice that they are surely making each and every day since his death. To John Doherty and his family, please take comfort in knowing that my family will never forget you. God be with you. Sincerely, Denise Fogliano

Gratitude
Doc Doherty was the first upperclassman to befriend me when I was a plebe at the Naval Academy. He had the respect of all who knew him. This comment is just to express the gratitude of so many of us for his service and sacrifice.

"Doc.," Doherty, Jerry Bennett and I were, in the same, Marine officer's class, at Quantico and in the same, artillery class, at Ft. Sill, OK.. We went to Vietnam, together and were assigned, to 2nd, Battalion, 12th, Marines, at Chu Lai. We were all, to be assigned, as forward observers, with different 105mm, batteries, of the 12th, Marines. When called before the colonel, for this assignment, the colonel said, that he had, three batteries. Delta, battery, at Khe Sanh, Fox, battery, at Con Thien and Echo, battery, at Chu Lai. He added, that it, was up to, the three of us, to decide, who went where. We all reached, for coins and flipped, for Delta, Battery, at Khe Sanh. Doc., Doherty won. It was now, left, to Jerry and I, to flip for Fox, battery, at Con Thien. We flipped and I lost again. Jerry chose, Con Thien and I was shipped, to Echo, battery, at Chu Lai. One month later, Jerry Bennett was killed, by a hit, on his bunker, by an 85mm, recoiless rifle. One month after Jerry, Doc., Doherty, was with Bravo, Company, 1/9, as a forward observer and was killed, while being overrun, by a North Vietnamese battalion. I miss my friends, to this day and feel guilty, that I lost, the toss twice. God, grant you peace, for your ultimate sacrifice. Semper Fi!
