It all happened by pure luck. Two former Suicide Charley Marines finally meet up after over a year of conversations that came from them meeting on the SuicideCharley.Com website. The two Marines, Dean Smith and Patrick Huwiler (Active Duty) finally were able to shake hands and take pictures a pond the arrival of the 31st Meu in Brisbane Australia early September, 09. Dean showed his gratitude to the Marines by inviting SSgt Huwiler to an exclusive dinner aboard the USS Essex and by inviting some fellow team members of SSgt Huwiler over to his house for a birthday barbeque for Dean. After the barbeque was finished the Marines Shook hands, said their thanks and got onto a bus and headed back to ship. The ship pulled out of port the next morning and headed back to Okinawa, Japan. All in all it was a great time seeing Marines reunite all over the globe.
