HN. JOSEPH H. GILMORE, III

U.S. NAVY RESERVE

HN Gilmore is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Gilmore Jr., of Cape Girardeau. He is a Navy "Doc" assigned to the 2nd Marine Division out of Nashville, Tenn.

He joined the Navy Reserves in 1987, and his unit was trained at Camp LeJeune, N.C. in November. He was deployed to the Persian Gulf on New Year's Eve.

He attended Southeast Missouri State University and Aquinas College in Nashville, and he is a licensed paramedic.

His parents said he loves to snow ski, and had hoped he would be able to leave the Gulf before the winter snow here had gone. He told his parents that mail is really appreciated. "He said it really helps with the homesick feeling," they said.
