Hello Sgt. Grit,
Just wanted to chime in on Marine Corps Birthday Ball pics. In
2007, my wife and I were fortunate to attend the 232nd Marine
Corps Birthday Ball in Fredericksburg, VA for the Combat
Development Command. Commandant Conway and future Commandant
General Amos were in attendance. We were fortunate enough to
have a few laughs with the Generals and get our pictures taken.
Lt.Col. John Gambrino, General Amos and I were discussing ice
fishing in Minnesota and General Conway escorted my wife,
Colleen and I into the Ball. The Commandant made our Christmas
card. Good times had by all.
Semper Fi,
1st Lt. Michael J. Rawlings, USMCR
1974-1982
