On
April 23, 2015, Wayne Taylor participated in this Flag
Ceremony in the original green uniform and Charlie Brabham
was among those who saluted
and stood in line at attention. This took place in Bluffton, SC to
honor fallen Marines from our original Parris Island Battalion from
1962. The first video is a short version put out by the local
paper, the second video is the full 10 minute ceremony. These
still appear to be active.

We can't find out much about this photo of Mike Bass in the center. It appears to be from a Marine Corps Ball. |
