Anyone who is anticipating attending please contact me so I can mail you a packet. The hotel will release the blocked rooms on 12 August so make sure that you reserve your rooms as well as send me your reservations. I have to have all the numbers for the tour bus company, tours to Quantico, Pentagon and Fighter Training Center a couple weeks prior to the reunion. Remember if you are going on the Pentagon tour you will need to have two forms of ID. Two picture IDs or one picture ID and SS card or other. Those of you who have been attending the reunions since 1998 and have been following the preparation for this one might have noticed that one set of names have been missing. Due to health issues Les and Bonita McMillan will not be handling the hospitality room and talking to Les he said he would feel better if we could find someone to take over the job on a permanent basis. George and Jackie Phander will be taking over this reunion as interim. So we will be looking for someone to take over that job along with being the Vice President of the group. Les and Bonita made my job easy and through the years they donated everything in the hospitality room or found a way to keep it stocked at minimal cost. Les and Bonita traveled with us to hotel site inspections and knew what they needed to make things work. They were my right hand and it will not seem the same with them not filling that same capacity. We wish them well and hope that they may attend the reunions on a limited basis in the future. 45 years ago in Chu Lai who would have every thought we would still be working together on something like this. Semper Fi my friends and we'll see you round the bend. Anyone wishing to donate things for the auction on Friday night please inform my "Priceless Antiquities Procurer" Phander so we know how many things we have to auction off. Far as I know my auctioneers Jim Davis and Ralphie Reed will be in attendance and they will be handling the auction. We always have a great time with this and we'll have some pizza for a half time intermission. Haven't heard if any canned salmon is going to make it's way to the auction block and I still have to work on the squadron to see if I can get another signed Harrier litho. They are changing command this month and I did email the incoming commander a few months ago to introduce us. When you arrive at the Holiday Inn the hospitality room will be on the left down the hall. We may have a table set up in the lobby. If that is the case then you will pick up your welcome packets there. If we're not in the lobby we'll be in the hospitality room. The packets will contain your name tags. If you are a 311 alumni you and your wife will get permanent tags and guests will receive the normal throw away type. Also the packet will contain the reunion agenda which will give you all the necessary information you will need for the tours and what is going to transpire over the week. Also there is your dinner tickets. Make sure that you bring them to the banquet so the servers know what to feed you ( No SOS on the banquet menu!!). Some have asked what the dress code is for the banquet. There is no dress code. It matters that you are there. In short we will have a Marine Color Guard from Quantico and a Bugler to play taps for the Memorial Service ,which will be handled by Cecil Cheeka. We're working on a cake to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the squadron and the 100th anniversary of Marine Aviation. We may have a modified cake cutting ritual. If you are the oldest and the youngest 311 alumni in attendance you may get your moment of glory if only to take a bite of cake. Still working on a speaker and guest of honor. At the business meeting on Saturday morning we will vote on the location of Reunion 2014. We'll bring up any amount of locations you want then narrow it down to a few . This will save us the long drawn out process of trying to muster a vote on locations throughout the year. Everyone will know where the next one will be when we leave Quantico. If you are not in attendance and would like us to submit a location for consideration just call or drop us a line and we'll throw it to the vote. Well, we've planned it out for most of the year and the good Lord willing we'll have a great get together and a successful reunion. The weather has never let us down. To those of you who will be attending for the first time, you are strangers but a short time. We have a great group. Sue and I will be at the hotel on Monday the 3rd as will be a number of others. So if you come in early make sure you look us up. TOMCATS are not usually too hard to spot. If you have any questions at all don't hesitate to call someone on the top of this newsletter . Travel safely and we'll see you in Quantico. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW ALUMNI BIBEY, JACK 2550 Chesdin Lake Road, Church Road, VA 23833 804-265-8096 , 1972-73, Bien Hoa DEARING, EARL 14632 Davis Street, Westminster, CA 92683 714-349-7226 , [email protected] 1970-71, DaNang, Chu Lai, Maint.

I usually don't read the magazine but something compelled me so I thought I would follow up since I found reference to Dad's squadron. My Dad, who will be 90 this month, piloted corsairs in the south Pacific during WWII with VMF-311 "Hell's Belles". He was at Kwajalien when Charles Lindburg was there. He has dementia and thinks he is still in the Marines, but he could still fly his F4U, I'm sure.

Henderson's initiatives are placed within the framework of the several fundamental changes that the U.S. Navy was undergoing as it worked to experiment with, acquire, and incorporate new naval technologies into its own operational concept.

    Semper Fidelis March Sousa, John Philip Semper Fidelis March by: John Philip Sousa Original Copyright: 1888 By: Carl Fischer BandMusic PDF Library Chester Nettrower Collection Music Committee Members Tom Pechnik, Senior Archivist; Mary Phillips; Wayne Dydo; Bill Park, Director North Royalton, Ohio www.bandmusicpdf.org John Philip Sousa DOB: November 6th, 1854 (Washington, DC) DOD: March 6th, 1932 (Reading, PA) John Philip Sousa wrote the most famous American military marches of all time, including "Stars and Stripes Forever," earning him the nickname "the March King"; he was also known as a great bandleader, and organized the famed concert and military group, Sousa's Band. Born in Washington, D.C., on November 6, 1854, Sousa followed in the footsteps of his father, a musician in the U.S. Marine Corps, and enlisted by the age of 14. Before this, Sousa had studied violin with John Esputa. While active in the Marines, he composed his first march, "Salutation." Around the age of 16, Sousa began studying harmony with G.F. Benkert, then worked as a pit orchestra conductor at a local theater, followed by jobs as first chair violinist at the Ford Opera House, the Philadelphia Chestnut Street Theater, and later led the U.S. Marine Corps Band (1880- 1992). Although most famous for his marches, Sousa composed in other styles as well, including a waltz, "Moonlight on the Potomac"; a gallop, "The Cuckoo" (both in 1869); the oratorio "Messiah of the Nations" (1914); and scores for Broadway musicals The Smugglers (1879), Desiree (1884), The Glass Blowers (1893), El Capitan (1896; which was his first real scoring success), American Maid (1913), and more.

Nonprofit ON POINT Letter from the President MORE THAN A DECADE OF CONFLICT has placed an unprecedented burden on our Nation’s Marine families. The current generation of veterans has experienced unusually long and frequent deployments; the stress of these deployments leaves a lasting impact. Many of these Marines have young children. Others have returned home to start their families. Whether their children are graduating from high school today or decades from now, our mission remains to provide them with steadfast, faithful assistance, both today and in the future. To that end, we are proud to announce the launch of the $100,000,000 Phase II of the American Patriots Campaign (total campaign goal $160,000,000), an initiative designed to meet the critical future needs of our Marine families. Our ambitious goals are inspired by the following: Margaret B.
