On Sunday, 4 June, the Bastards' Homecoming will occur.
We have been invited by the Command and the Deployment Rediness Coordinator 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! These guys and gals are coming back from deployment, and almost got re-routed to assist the folks in Guam after the typhoon, but were turned back home.
We will meet them prior to their formal Welcome Home by their Command Staff and accompany them to the ceremony and their release to their families.
Come with your smiles, hugs, handshakes, and flags.
