21 May 2017 - Utah Dixie Detachment #1270 Participates in Armed Forces Day
Presentation of Service Flags for Armed Forces Day
recognition.
By William Fortune
Saturday May 21, 2017––A local auto dealer, Painter
Mitsubishi, arranged for a celebration and recognition of Armed Forces Day with
the presence of Snow Canyon High School Jazz band and the presentation of the
Armed Services Flags and the Pledge of Allegiance by two veterans’ groups at
their dealership on Hilton drive in St. George, Utah. Arriving around 11:00 am to the sounds of
40’s swing music provided by the Jazz Band, the Marine Corps League formed a
firing detail and the American Legion provided a color guard of all the service
flags. The band also played all the
service songs after the veterans’ groups arrived. As the flags were brought forward and dipped,
Old Glory remained tall and the audience was invited to participate in the
Pledge of Allegiance. Then as the pledge was concluded the Marines fired their
gun salute. According to Tamara Sherman,
at Painter, “they wanted to show their appreciation for the nations’ armed
forces and recognize their service.” They also arranged to have a lunch for all
the veterans who participated. All of
this was done in recognition of Armed Forces Day.
Armed Forces Day in the United States comes after Armed
Forces Week and honors all five military branches: Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
Air Force, and Coast Guard. Armed Forces Week begins the second Saturday of May
and ends on the third Sunday of May. Armed Forces Day is always the third
Saturday in May. Both Armed Forces Day and Armed Forces Week fall during
Military Appreciation Month. Prior to
the establishment of the Armed Forces Day, the Army, Navy, and Air Force all
had their own days. President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a
single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for
their patriotic service in support of our country. On Aug. 31, 1949, Defense Secretary Louis
Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army,
Navy and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration stemmed from the
unification of the armed forces under one agency — the Department of Defense.

Devil
Pup candidates, Marines and families: We have a Devil Pup rummage sale coming

our program. The rummage sale will be held in Linn's parking lot on
Sunset on 27 May 2017 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (or noon if we sell
out). Please bring any items you would be willing to donate for the
Devil Pup program to the sale site at 7:00 a.m. Marines will supply
tables for setting up rummage items and we will need help placing,
selling and watching over the tables.
All
Devil Pup candidates are required to attend this event to assist with
unloading, loading and selling items. If you have a very good reason
for not attending, please contact Sgt. Lewis. Please arrive by 7:00
a.m. If you have questions, please contact Donna Toole at dtoole at
sunrivertoday dot com - (you know how to e-mail that e-address).
For
Marine Corps League, D.A.R., VCSU members and friends, we very much
would appreciate any items you could donate to the rummage sale to send
our 2017 candidates to Camp Pendleton for Devil Pup camp July 20-29.
Other than a $100 earnest money contribution by each selected pup
candidate, the program is free to the family so we must raise enough to
send 6 to 10 teens (our quota for 2017) to camp.
