★★★ Memorial Monday ★★★
Capt. Granville Pullen '71, USMC was co-pilot and one of five killed when their CH-53 helicopter crashed on a farm near Whaleysville, Maryland on January 8, 1975. The four crew and a passenger were flying from their base at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina to McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey. He was a member of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) 362.
Granville was son of a Marine Corps officer, and graduated high school in Hawaii, though he and the family considered Maine to be their home.
He was survived by his parents, brother, and three sisters. One of those siblings named their son for Granville; Granville II carried on the name with his own son.
(We and the Naval Academy Alumni Association have lost contact with the family. If you know how to find them please tell us!)
To Honor! ⚓
