Lewis & Clark Young Marines joined CMAC – Community Military Appreciation Committee at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site for their annual Memorial Day Ceremony. We were privileged to be able to assist in the remembrance of the men and women we have lost overseas and locally.
Last night Lewis & Clark Young Marines had the privilege to honor Veterans at Willamette National Cemetery. First there was a ceremony, and then we were released with flags to plant. We stated the Veteran’s name, thanked them for their service and planted a flag at the base of their gravestone.
We hope you have a safe Memorial day weekend.
The Hazel Dell Parade of Bands returned, so of course the Lewis & Clark Young Marines wanted to join in on the fun! We ended up being asked to be the opening parade Color Guard too! We cannot wait to do it again next year, Oorah!
Congratulations to our very own former Young Marine (2003-2010) and our former unit commander (2017-2022). Well done, Mr. Lewis, … well done.
Lewis & Clark Young Marines drill schedule included a class on how to properly retire flags this weekend. We were then properly able to retire our National flag with respect and pride.
