Slattery, Marine Corps League Det #206, NEWSLETTER, Jun 2019 - #3 Commandant's Corner Semper Fi group, We have some items coming up in June that the detachment is going to need some help on. I will give them to you chronologically. So, where you can offer your help where it is needed. Bob Stalzer is your lead for the Rose Outings, see him about the specific dates you wish to help with. 5 June Regular Meeting 14 June Flag Day Flag Retirement Ceremony at the American Legion. It begins at dusk we join the other service groups. It is an interesting evening (generally about an hour or two most). The Rose Outing are also a lot of fun and if you can, stay a few hours or the whole day. They begin about 9am and end about 3 in the afternoon. 15 June Rose Outing @ ShopRite, W.Caldwell 29 June Rose Outing @ The Greater Morristown ShopRite in Cedar Knolls. And, the July meeting will be on 10 July (Regular Meeting) instead of the 3rd (too close to July 4th) - same place at the same time. We have many things to talk about including the items above as well as the up- coming Golf Outing and its various parts such as getting sponsors and assisting at the outing but, more on that later in this newsletter. Actually, the Golf Outing should be discussed right now as well as the June meeting as time is getting short. I’ve ask and several of you have obligized by asking businesses to place a window sign (I will have signs “incase you didn;t take one” at the last meeting. Several have located golfers that will join us at Picatinny. As far as help that day, I’ll know more at the meeting. We do need to get more golfers and sponsors for holes. Let’s get going guys. We are coming up to the change of leadership. I have been pleased with the help I have gotten from our fellow officers. The job is easy and I have been proud of all the things we have accomplished since I “smacked the gavel” last year in November. The job took a little time to fall into place and was not as difficult as I once thought. As simple as it is, I still have a huge undertaking that I have to finish in the next year. What is it? As most of you know, I am working on several art series and trying to get them into various sites. “The 9/11” Series will be 65 to 70 pieces (paintings, drawings, sculptures and ceramics) when completed. It’s just about done with maybe 3 or 4 pieces to go. I will be driving back to Wisconsin during the month and contacting a few places that I think have the possibility of housing the series. Another series I am working on is “The Flags of Our Conflicts” Series which is a ceramic full-size folded flag with a painting of each of our main conflicts from the Revolutionary War on. Also will be a large watercolor of that particular flag and a small graphite drawing. This series I am trying to get into the Pentagon for showing. I still have several paintings and drawings to do. I want to complete the two series by the end of 2020. Lot’s of work still to do. And then there is the eagle and the butterfly series, but those can wait. With these works to do and my wifes list to do I’m swamped, so I will not be in the running for 2019/2020 Commandant position. I hope that one of you will step up for this position. I will be more than happy to help out where I can as I am sure that the other officers will also assist the new Commandant. As I will be overseas towards the end of September and early October, I would like to have a complete officer slate for 2019/2020 done by the September meeting (that leaves us July and August to fill it). I know you heard “Do not volunteer” well kiss that crap good-bye as Slattery needs help on our outings, our leadership and on our recruitment. Let us get going. Semper Fidelis means “always faithful” now is the time to do so Marines, the detachment counts on you. Semper Fi, Tom Miller P.S. I sorry but I have no other way to express how limited my time is on how much I have to do. Don’t mean to bore you. L/CPL Robert J. Slattery, Marine Corps League Det #206, NEWSLETTER, Jun 2019 - #4 This Month in USMC History JUNE 2 June 1918: At dawn on this date, the crack German 28th Division attacked along the axis of the Paris-Metz road hitting the American 2d Division, including the 4th Marine Brigade. The Marines opened with deadly rifle fire and helped hand the German troops a setback which set the stage for Marine victory at Belleau Wood which would soon follow, although at great cost. 8 June 1995: A Marine tactical recovery team from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit stationed on board the USS Kearsarge rescued a downed U.S. pilot, Captain Scott O'Grady, USAF, from Bosnian-Serb territory in Bosnia. 10 June 1898: The First Marine Battalion, commanded by LtCol Robert W. Huntington, landed on the eastern side of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The next day, Lt Herbert L. Draper hoisted the American flag on a flag pole at Camp McCalla where it flew during the next eleven days. LtCol Huntington later sent the flag with an accompanying letter to Colonel Commandant Charles Heywood noting that "when bullets were flying, ...the sight of the flag upon the midnight sky has thrilled our hearts." 12 June 1961: President John F. Kennedy signed a Presidential Proclamation calling for the American flag to be flown at the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, "at all times during the day and night." Discussions between the Attorney General's office and Marine Corps officials earlier in 1961 on improving the visibility and appearance of the monument led to the proposal to fly the Flag continuously, which by law could only be done by Congressional legislation or by Presidential proclamation. 15 June 1944: Preceded by naval gunfire and carrier air strikes, the V Amphibious Corps assaulted the west coast of Saipan, Marianas Islands. By nightfall, the 2d and 4th Marine Divisions, moving against heavy opposition, had established a beachhead 10,000 yards wide and 1,500 yards deep. 20 June 1993: The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit returned to Mogadishu, Somalia, to stand ready to assist United Nations forces in maintaining peace in the war-torn country. Earlier that month, the 24th MEU had been ordered to cut short Exercise Eager Mace 93-2 in Kuwait to respond to possible contingency operations in Somalia. 25 June 1950: Shortly before dawn, eight divisions of the North Korean People's Army crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded the Republic of Korea. Within three days, the South Korean capital city of Seoul had been captured. On 30 June, President Harry S. Truman ordered a naval blockade of the Korean coast and authorized the sending of U.S. ground troops to Korea. Two days later, General Douglas MacArthur, the Commander in Chief Far East, formally requested that a Marine regimental combat team be deployed to the Far East.
