We have had a busy few weeks, delayed posting.. We received a donation from the North Branch Lions club for our assistance in their 5K last month. Awards, classes, DDR we have done alot. Yesterday we supported one of our own AVs with assistance for his family with a heavenly birthday celebration. The young marines were also able to have some fun.

6-3-26 Davison Festival of Flags. We have participated in this parade for years, assisting the Knights of Colombus with the garrison flag. This time we're were asked to also provide colorguard to start the parade. It was hot and just breezy enough to make the flag tough to control. But as young marines we adapt and overcome! Great job to everyone.
