Memorial Stone Dedication
|

|


|
|
The Detachment”A” Memorial stone is in place and the colors were retired with dignity and honor. The dedication ceremony was outstanding, as was the Chicken Friday’s free event, both food and beers. Lots of folks had to cancel due to the weather, however the event was well attended, including Juan Renta, Rocky Farr, Ron Braughton, Jeff Raker, Carl Beene, Gene Piasecki, and many others.

20230426_A421_Tokai Gecko65 viewsTeam "mascot", a Tokai gecko. He was mean and would bite if provoked. We also had a rock python which we fed live rats (and bet on: how long it took him to catch the rat, how long it took him to swallow it). We had two Team dogs, Lady and Petey (aka "Pecker"), Lady's son.Apr 26, 2023
