I hope today finds all members great
Let’s remember our missing Brothers plus
I hope all members will take the time to reach out this coming week call a brother in need or just call to call.
Remember it is not just a board member that needs
To call ☎️ it is on each one of us as friends and brothers to make that call
Plus if you have a idea call me or another board member or director to ask about it ,
I hope all will get involved to make the coming year
One to standout

May we all remember that to day is for all the men and women that gave their
life so we can have freedom. And let’s hope that in the years to come we
Can find our lost Marines that gave all on KohTang Island
And bring them home after 47 years after being MIA
Prayers sent to all Marines and their families

In Flanders Fields
John McCrae - 1872-1918

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Never Forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice, of whom we know many. R.I.P.
Semper Fi!!!

Just a message to all who are attending this year's reunion. Enjoy the comradery this incident has established for many of us over the years. I apologize for not attending what would have been my first reunion as I was scheduled for cataract surgery last week, but it was pushed back. I would also like to ask that we all take time to remember those 23 Air Force members, of the 56th SOW, who lost their lives, on this date, in preparation for the initial rescue/recovery operation.
Semper Fi - 1/4th and 2/9th BLT
Semper Fortis - Coral Sea, Harold E. Holt, Henry B. Wilson
Fly, Fight, Win - 56th SOW, 21st SOS, 40th ARRS
Forever Brothers - All the support units during this operation.

In closing I am proud to call each of you brothers.
