Mike is on his way back over to Carl's right now (11:00) to grab whoever is there, if you can get there ASAP please do so and be ready to roll!! If you dont think you can make it, we at least hope we saved you a wasted trip.. Semper Gumby! We have been invited by the Command and the FRO of this USMC Unit to welcome home several of 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.
