Gannon was my last Platoon commander in the Corps in 1998. He came to 2nd Battalion/1st Marines in 1997 or 1998 as a 2nd Lieutenant. I should have noticed his passing a long time ago. I am truly sorry for your loss. He will be dearly missed. Thanks Capt. Gannon for everything.... SEMPER FI. If his family reads this, please contact me if you ever need anything.

Gannon's platoon in 2003. before we deployed for kuwait, I got news of my grandmothers death, I was unable to return home for the funeral, the one thing I remember the most about him was how he treated me like he had known me for years, he was a kind and comforting man.When I got injured in the early part of the war in Iraq, he wrote a letter to my wife expressing his sincere apologies and gratitude for my work. He was a Great Marine, Human and Father, he is greatly missed by all who had the pleasure to know him.
