The PGR has been invited to attend the honoring of a Korean War Deceased MOH Recipient on September 23 at Fort Devens. This event starts at 1200. We have already committed to the North Andover Vietnam Memorial Dedication on the same date at 1000 (please check this forum). If there are members who would want to attend the Marine event please respond to this thread and I can get it organized. It would be great to have PGR members at both dedications. |
