A Marine Style Birthday Party

Please make plans to attend a 2-hour Marine Corps Birthday Party November 10 from 1800 - 2000 at the Golden Corral, 42 S. River Road St. George.  The Detachment will provide a birthday cake, you are responsible for ordering and paying for your dinner and beverages.  The buffet line will be open but masked servers behind the counter will fill your plate.

The owners are giving us use of the large, private banquet room so we can distance ourselves to some degree from each other.  Wearing of masks is encouraged but up to you.  This is not a formal event like a Ball would be, but please wear your red MCL polo shirt.  If not, that's fine.  There are no tickets to purchase for this event.  Just come to the party and have some fun as we toast the Corps!

Sgt. Bryan Mount Tribute

For those of you who want to wave flags and welcome home the remains of Sgt Bryan Mount, meet between 100 South and Tabernacle across the street from Wells Fargo. There should be a lot of shade trees there. Muster time is 1600 Thursday, wear something representing the League. Red polo shirts and MCL cover would be great. Lots of parking at Wells Fargo. I have a few small flags, bring if you have any.

August 2020 Meeting

Marines:  We are still under the restrictions of Covid-19.  But there is a change in this month's meeting - it will not be via Zoom, but will be an outdoor meeting.  Here are the particulars:

Saturday August 1, 0830 at Tonaquint City Park, Dixie Downs Road.  We'll be at the north end pavilion by the tennis courts.  Bring a lawn chair in case the pavilion is occupied.  Bring a snack if you wish but we hope to be done in an hour, before it gets too warm.

1851 S. Tonaquint Drive, St. George.  Here is their website:

WWII Ceremony

Please see the attached invitation regarding our WWII ceremony.

Thanks to Marti’s list of WWII veterans that are members of the American Legion, I mailed out nearly 80 invitations at the beginning of this month.  I’ve since received 10 RSVPs.  I’ve also invited all the mayors of Washington County towns and cities.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

County Fair coordinator Susi LaFaele is putting together a veterans honor wall for display at the upcoming county fair in August.  She has room on the wall for hundreds of pictures of local veterans.  If you are interested in sending a photo to Susi for this project, open the attached flyer and follow the instructions.  It's easy!  I'm going to send her mine today.  This is a very cool project and I hope to decided to participate.  Semper Fi!
