| Yellow Foot Prints, where the journey began, where the rest of your life will be changed forever.
Yellow Foot Prints is a historical data resource center with information that starts with boot camp, and ends with a Marines final duty station. WHY this web site when there are so many Marine sites on the Internet today? There are many great Marine Corps sites on the net, there are none like Yellow Foot Prints and the content it provides to the Marine Community! This site is about historical information not found within the Marine Corps archives, and certainly not found on the Internet in a searchable database.
Boot Camp Database: - The only database like it on the Internet today! It starts from the late 1930’s continuing through present day graduates, covering both Parris Island and San Diego with listings of location, platoon numbers, recruit names, and rank at graduation where available. When available, graduation books (both borrowed and purchased) are scanned into the database that include Drill Instructor page as well as recruit photos. Also, members can help by submitting their scanned graduation books.
One very unique entry is platoon 2060 that graduated in 1956, this platoon included Lee Harvey Oswald. This section within the database has scanned pictures of the platoon as it trained to be Marines.
Obituaries Database: - The Obituaries database is also searchable, and contains entries that include, but are not limited to Arlington National Cemetery, The Wall, KIA from Iraq that include Desert Storm, Korean War, Viet Nam, and other wars and conflicts. This is an active database that even members can enter information about their loved one’s who have passed, or brother Marines. |

 On-Line PX Stores!! |
| Posted by: [Admin] on 10-27-2007 @ 04:02 AM |
Welcome to the NEW on-line PX Stores
www.yellowfootprintspx.com
Welcome to the new Yellow Footprints on-line PX store. The new PX is full of items every Marine and non-Marine alike would enjoy owning. We’ve tried to fill the PX with clothing and non-clothing items you and your families will like, at prices everyone can afford.
The goal of the store is not one to change this site into a commercial venture, it is however a way to generate funding to support our on-going historical mission.
Like any project, there are overhead costs in running such a mission, and asking for donations is not the only way to gain those funds.
So with that said, please stop in, look around, and remember one thing, YOU do NOT have to be a member to use this site or visit our PX……ENJOY
Carry On Marines!!

WASHINGTON – The 28th National Veterans Wheelchair Games, scheduled to take place July 25–29 in Omaha, Neb., will attract more than 500 veterans with disabilities. It has become the largest annual wheelchair sports competition in the world. Veterans from conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq will again join their fellow veterans in 17 competitive events being offered in Omaha.
“We are proud to present this outstanding rehabilitation event, a therapeutic extension of the superior heath care veterans receive in our medical centers each day,” said Dr. James B. Peake, Secretary of Veterans Affairs. “Rehabilitation is crucial to living a full life following an injury. I applaud all of the veterans participating as they strive to achieve their goals during this week of athletic competition.”
The National Veterans Wheelchair Games, presented by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), are open to all U.S. military veterans who use wheelchairs for sports competition due to spinal cord injuries, certain neurological conditions, amputations or other mobility impairments.
