Happy Independence Day! The Lewis & Clark Young Marines proudly marched in the Hillsboro, Oregon Rotary 4th of July Parade this morning. Our heartfelt thanks go to the local Elks lodge for providing us with delicious donuts and refreshing water, which gave us the energy we needed for the event. While waiting for the parade to start, we had the pleasure of meeting and playing games with the Tualatin Valley Young Marines, our neighboring unit. It was a fantastic opportunity to bond and have fun together. Oorah!
On Saturday, the Lewis & Clark Young Marines showcased their dedication and discipline at the Hazel Dell Parade of Bands. With polished boots, crisply ironed uniforms, and proudly displayed ribbons, our Color Guard took the lead, marching in perfect harmony with the vibrant music of Vancouver and surrounding area school bands. The parade was a spectacular display of community spirit and musical talent, highlighting the commitment and pride of our young marines. It was a day to remember, celebrating the unity and enthusiasm of everyone involved.
Lewis & Clark Young Marines is dedicated to showing our Veterans how thankful we are for their service; this weekend we were given several opportunities.
We kicked off Veteran’s Day weekend, sending out three color guards to honor the brave, and then we marched to our favorite cadences for 1.3-miles in the annual Veteran’s Day Parade at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.
Thank you to CCRW, La Center School District, and View Ridge Middle School for hosting our color guards.
And a huge thank you to all Veterans for your service!
Congratulations Lewis & Clark Young Marines! Last night we had the honor of being invited to march in the La Center Days Parade, and we received an award from the La Center Court for best marching unit! Oorah!
