TMLC Readies to Defend Memorial Crosses at Marine Base Atop Mount Horno Thomas More Law Center

Four of the seven who carried the original cross up the hill were subsequently killed in action, including Lance Cpl. Zurheide, Major Douglas Zembiec, Major Ray Mendoza, and Lance Cpl. Aaron Austin. The last time Elena saw her husband alive was when they said goodbye at the foot of the hill bearing the cross. This past year, on the Marine Corps birthday (November 10, 2011), the new 13 foot wooden cross was carried up the 3000 ft. climb to the top of the hill. Elena and her son Robbie were a part of the group that took the cross to the top of the hill. The next day, Veteran’s Day, the Cross was mounted at the exact location of the original cross. The memorial cross is dedicated to the memory of the four Marines who carried the original cross up the hill and were later killed in action.

Brothers and Sisters, we are gathered here today to celebrate our love of musicahh.

No wait...thats not it. Where is that thing? I know its around here somewhere.

Oh, here it is. (I laid it down and covered it up with YankeeMom's Milblog Award. The thing is HUGE. I had to get a special permit just to haul it back to Richmond.)

(Clears throat)...
ATTENTION:
Tuesday, 13 April at 1200 I will be live-blogging from the Prince William County Complex for the National Museum of Americans in Wartime. I'm pretty sure ya'll know who they are, from my posts last year at the Open House.

There is big news coming about the museum. Its good stuff. NMAW asked me to do this and since I love heavy equipment with guns, it really was a no-brainer. Any members who aren't busy and can get away, come on out. Would love to see ya.

Had a great weekend hanging with the Big Dogs of milblogging and Troop Support. There are hours of video from the panels, and the panel with the former Marine Combat Photographer from WWII is awesome. He was on Tarawa and Iwo Jima.

There is good stuff coming this summer, friends. I feel great. Everyone was very glad to see me and I was delighted to be seen in the vertical position. (and I stayed vertical for most of the conference.) No really, I did. Seriously, ya'll, I was very well-behaved. Well, there was that one time, when......oops. TMI.
