    Becoming a United States Marine was a dream come true for me on December 24 1965. I volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served two tours. SEMPER FI BROTHERS. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. OOH RAH.

    I remember when I was in the Coast Guard marching band out of boot camp. They sent us all over the place to march in town parades and holidays. We flew around in a C-130 cargo plane and all it had for seats were nets. Those planes could stop on a dime. I saw them get into a lot of small town airports. Anyway, it was a thrill to march through the streets and be greeted by all these waving, clapping people who were all smiles. It was a great feeling. Very patriotic.

    Sousa knew how to write marches! After a tour of Europe, he was approaching New York, by boat, and the sight of the US inspired him to write "Stars and Stripes forever." A great rendition of this song, is on an old player piano. I had a neighbor who rebuilt them and he happened to have this song on a roll. It's amazing how a person can influence a performance by pumping the pedals, on a player piano! Good times!!

They came the first year, way back in 1976 for our Bicentennial celebration and they've been coming back ever since! They get to spend time with the townspeople & enjoy the party!! Some of them have never had the chance to visit the midwest & they go home with a different perspective. Always, always a class act, no matter which base they are from. God bless our military people. And God bless America! 🇺🇸
