HARRY I. DRENDALL
Just as this Living Tarawa Veterans Roster was getting underway, Harry’s wife Lois wrote:
“My husband, Harry Ivan Drendall, served on Tarawa and Saipan & would have gladly answered these questions.  However, they came too late.  Harry died just days ago, one month short of his 90th birthday.  
A sample of his service can be found in Marines Dodging Death edited by Robert A. Simonsen.  Harry’s story is Chapter 3.  He earned the Bronze Star on Saipan.
Sincerely,
Lois Drendall, (his wife)”
For Harry, here is what his Bronze Star looks like:
BRONZE  STAR
A PHOTO LINK TO THE BRONZE STAR COMES HERE SOON.
NB  This note from Harry’s wife Lois is included in this Living Tarawa Veterans Roster because this roster was already in its earliest formative stages when Harry died.
