We have been invited by the Command and the DRC of this USMC Unit to welcome home their brave Marines and Sailors who are returning from deployment, we are honored to be there!
This Unit has been away from home and family for many months. They are returning to the States and deserve a Hero's welcome!
Please bring your smiles, handshakes, hugs, banners and flags and be prepared to thank them for their service and all that they do to keep us free and allow us to sleep safely in our beds at night.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Marine Unit. We will greet these Troops with a Flag Line upon their arrival. Please see the time table below if you would like to participate.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We will need as many DOD ID holders as possible. The DRC suggested that an ID holder could sponsor someone on base. This would mean that we would have to stop at the ID Station at the gate to do this. Time table for Monday, 28 FEB 22: 0945 - Stage at Carl's Jr., 9360 Kearny Mesa Rd., San Diego, CA 92126
