I just learned of the Ceremony Awarding the Purple Heart to Lt. Dan Jones is to be held this Thursday in Chandler Az.

I realize that it is very late but if anyone lives in the area and desires to attend the long awaited ceremony, here is the Frag Order (below)

LOCATION: Springfield Estates Retirement Community
The "Theater Room" at the Community Recreation Center
6495 South Saint Andrews Blvd.
Chandler, AZ

DATE/TIME: Thursday, 25 September 2014. Presentation will begin at 1400.

GUEST LIST:

Lieutenant Colonel George and Nan ROSS, (USMC RET)

Lieutenant Commander Jamie and Shannon KERR, (USN RET)

First Sergeant David BAKER, (4th Marine Logistics Group, Luke AFB)

Chief Pilot Randall and Pat CORSON, (Aerohead Aviation)

DIRECTIONS FROM SCOTTSDALE AREA:

On the 101 Freeway SOUTHBOUND. Continue SOUTH thru Chandler. Stay in the left lanes, as the 101 will end just SOUTH of RAY ROAD. Take the 202 San Tan Freeway EAST ramp. Continue EAST for approximately 4 miles, and take the McQUEEN ROAD exit. Go SOUTH on McQUEEN for approximately 5 miles, at which point you will CONTINUE SOUTH ON McQUEEN thru the RIGGS ROAD intersection. A GPS will tell you to turn left on Riggs, but that's not correct. Once you're south of RIGGS, take the first available LEFT TURN into SPRINGFIELD ESTATES. You will be met by a normally courteous guard, who will direct you to the Recreation Center.

Semper Fidelis
