Dying WWII Vet Needs Uniform


Clair Dunlevy, nearly 94, has about a month left to live, as his liver is failing.  He served his country for over 30 years and his family desires to bury him in his uniform with honors.

The mice beat the family to the uniform and it is destroyed, so a campaign to find one to fit this WWII Vet was set in motion.

So, the family is trying to track down a Pearl Harbor era Marine uniform that could be used for the honorable burial of Clair Dunlevy.  He wears a men’s small shirt, with a 30″ waist and 28″ inseam.  Family friend Q Madp would be willing to connect any possible donor.  Q can be reached at  503-881-6237, or via email [email protected]

The response is so encouraging, as many stepped up to meet the need and honor Clair Dunlevy.   The thread of responses on KXL.com is a boost to one’s moral and the goal was reached through a local Young Marines group.
