I wanted to share a story with my fellow Marines.
On Friday, November 11, 2011 in downtown Amherst, Ohio in northern Ohio there will be a dedication of a mural depiction of the famous second flag raising on Mt. Suribachi. This is my hometown, the town I grew up in and the town I currently live. There has been an article on the Leatherneck magazine website and there will be more articles and hopefully some national news. I was not involved in any way with this, but, am taking the day off work to attend. This mural is the only one like it in the United States. It's the day after our 236th Birthday. I am proud of my town of Amherst and I am proud of being a Marine and of the Corps. Semper Fi.
