Biography coming soon.
My father was William Paul Monahan. He is survived by his three sons, Michael-retired US Army Lt. Colonel, James-retired police officer/detective and Paul-retired deputy sheriff /detective . I think the Marines had an impact on all three boys. We will forever be proud of his service to our country and to all who fought beside him.
He was shot across the forehead on Iwo Jima and bared a scar his entire life but thanks to his fellow Marines he came home, thank you so very much! Forever grateful, Jim Monahan
