As a former Hospital Corpsman, it is always heart breaking to hear a fellow Corpsman has been relieved of his watch. Fair winds and following seas, Doc Sapp.
Dear Sapp family and friends,
I can only tell this the way it happened, the first time I met Doc Perry just a few years ago. The door to our company opens and the first thing I hear is, “WHO’S THE DAM MARINE IN HERE?!” Lol!
It was great. Perry was great. I feel blessed to have gotten to know him. Marines love their Doc’s.
Rest easy, Doc.
Semper Fidelis

In the short time I knew him, I want to say Perry was not a shy man and made me proud to be in his company. He was a staunch supporter of the Vietnam Veterans Of America Chapter 671 Poppy Drives. He really loved doing it and would volunteer for all day if allowed. He loved and respected his wife and showed it everywhere he went. He will be missed. May God Bless The Family
