Headed off to a free Bed and Breakfast that the owners provide to veterans, wife and I are staying in the room that Stonewall Jackson asked for when he stayed there and drinking a bottle of Semper Fi champagne - then birthday ball celebration tomorrow where i am the lead for the sword escort.
Just saw this on what is now called H2 which was known History International.
The Marines were Formed in a Tavern and the first Captain was the Bar Owner.
Hoo Raa.. A couple of years ago I cut the cake as the oldest Marine there at the Lodi, CA Marine Birthday bash. Was the guest speaker for the event and spoke on experiences on Iwo Jima. This year I am giving the guest speaker for our event Saturday a Globe and Anchor decal pen. Another OLD man is the cake cutter. Semper Fi guys Frank
Thank You to all who serve and put yourselves and your families on the line to keep us free. I love walking out every morning and seeing the stars and stripes flying in my front yard and you guys are the reason it flies free. Thanks!!
