The past four days have been remarkable!
I've had the opportunity to work Marine Week in St. Louis on behalf of the Marine Corps League. I got to interface with literally thousands of former and current Marines and shared so many similar experiences.
In addition, there was all sorts of cool equipement, not the least of which were aircraft and helicopters from our era. The icing on the preverbial cake was talking to the pilots and crew of the current HMLA-167 squadron who I flew with in 68-69 out of MMAF when it was HML-167.
Don't know where Marine week will be next year, but if any of you have the opportunity to work it in conjunction with your local MCL detachment, it is highly recommended.
Semperfi!

Re: Marine Week 2011
BTW...
Also forgot to mention that I got to talk with several Korean war vets, and one gentleman that fought at IWO Jima in WWII AND the Chosin reservoir in Korea.
It doesn't get any better!
