On June 23, 1976 the following letter was received by Mrs. Lorraine King from Capt. L. F. Lange II at Camp Pendleton, California:

Dear Mrs. King,

It is with the greatest of pleasure that I inform you of the promotion of your son Randy to the rank of Lance Corporal. A Marine is not promoted in this Battery until he has clearly demonstrated the ability and willingness to handle the increased responsibility that goes along with the rank. Randy has earned the right to possess a feeling of pride in doing the job the way it should be done, and I know you share this pride with him.

Capt. L. F. Lang II
U.S.M.C. Commanding
