Hey Grit,
On 10 Nov 2009 the Bethlehem (#284) and Lehigh Valley (#296) detachments of the Marine Corps League teamed up to celebrate the 234th Birthday of our Corps. We had a cake cutting ceremony at VFW Post 13. Pictured here are myself Howard Cooper Commandant Lehigh Valley Det, LCpl Eric Shampine born in 1987 (the youngest), Marine Russell Gross, veteran of Guadalcanal and born in 1915 (the oldest), and Vince Poandl IV, Commandant of Bethlehem Det. A good time was had by all and the cake was delicious. Hope you and yours had a good time as well in OK.
Semper Fi,
Howie Cooper
