Message from Commandant Grisier:
We had nine Marines and one photographer (Michelle, wife of
Gene Gregory) show up for the Honor Flight send-off. Thank you to all who were there for the send-off. As you know they are scheduled to return
Saturday evening at approximately 2100. I
ask that you return and I encourage those who could not make it to the
departure to join with the happy crowd in the welcoming back. Watch for an e-mail from Larry Mineer because he will get advance notice of the arrival time from one of the event organizers - this should keep everyone from standing around waiting if the flight is delayed.

As a matter of information, Mayor Pike was also there for
the send-off. The mayor shook hands with
all Marines and had his picture taken 2-3 times right in the middle of all the
Marines.
While each passenger was happy to see us, none had happier faces than MCL members, Audre and Ken. With tears in their eyes they thanked us all. While the review line may not have been as straight as Marines would like, nevertheless, it was formed and salutes were rendered, as the passengers boarded the bus heading for Las Vegas.
