The United States Marine Corps League

At 11am today, the 11th day of the 11th month, I shall be in a meeting of Crossroads North Wales where we will mark the moment with a minute’s silence in honour of British & Commonwealth sacrifices. During that time I’ll also spare a thought for my pals, members of the United States Marine Corps League who this year allowed Julie and I the immense honour of sharing their Memorial Day tribute to their fallen comrades in San Ardo, California. As time takes its toll, the majority of Corps League members are now Vietnam veterans, but they never let you forget the depth of gratitude owed to those who gave their lives in the service, particularly at Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal.








Semper Fidelis
