FIRST BLACK COMMISSIONED OFFICER

April 10, 2005

It is with sadness that I notify you that FRED BRANCH, long 
time Philadelphian, educator, & first African American 
Commissioned Officer in the Marine Corps, passed away this 
morning around 0400 hrs. Because of logistical 
considerations, the funeral will be held in approximately 
three weeks. I will attempt to keep you informed of 
specifics.  
Semper fi, 
Chris
