Marine Corps Birthday Ball



As Marines, we always throw a great party for our Birthday on 10 November. This year I was invited as the Guest of Honor to the Avenel (NJ) Marine Corps League's ball in Woodbridge, NJ. It was a great time and in keeping with the tradition of "once a Marine, always a Marine", these guys continue to serve. These great Marines donated $2,500 to our Toys for Tots campaign. In my 14 years of service, nothing has been more rewarding than to put a smile on a kid's face. In these pics are me with the oldest Marine and the youngest Marine present at the ball. The oldest Marine was fought in WWII and the youngest just returned from Iraq 2 months ago. Now that is what I call tradition.


Semper Fi,
Brian
