USMC MWR or Special Services for 1950's through the end of the 60"

First generation students. We hear about a hand full but we seldom hear about all those military folks who attended Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei's dojo from the mid-fifties to the end of the sixties.

I often wonder if that sign up listing is still obtainable. It would list all the military who signed up under the military contract with Tatsuo-san.

There must have been hundreds, at least, who spent time in the honbu dojo after signing up with special services or what is today called MWR (Moral, Welfare and Recreation).

If anyone reading this can produce that list and allow it to be available on the Internet would be much appreciated.

I, for one, would be interested and curious as to the names on that list. Even if they didn't become famous or even continue to train in karate.

Anyone? I have tried to find some source or such but failed so maybe someone else out there will have better luck.

We all tend to focus on those few who took Isshinryu to the next level upon return to the States but it is that "unsung hero" that sometimes matters. After all, would we have the Viet Nam wall if we didn't want to know "all the servicepersons" who sacrificed themselves in that war?

Note: Not saying that this list of karate-ka is on par with the Viet Nam memorial list (it isn't of course) but it is important to give recognition to everyone involved.
