Merriam Press World War 2 Biography1st Lt. Joseph Fournier was KIA on Peleliu's Bloody Nose Ridge, one of the courageous officers leading an infantry company of the 1st Marines in September 1944. He died exactly twenty-four months to the day of accepting his commission as an officer in the USMCR. Seventy years after his death the need to record his story came from a Marine who served in Lt Fournier's Company, a niece's need to fulfill her mother's wishes and newspaper clippings kept by his mother - almost lost to a shredder. A life tangled with famous names and organizations, Lt Fournier, known as "Commando Joe" to his Marines, was a man who would still fit in with the Marines of today. He was a Sea Worthy Marine, a Raider before the battalions were fully functional and a member of "The Old Breed."26 photos.
