First of all, I'd like to say happy Veteran's Day to all who served or are currently serving in our nation's armed forces, and I hope you all have had a great weekend! Also, happy 242nd birthday to the United States Marine Corps!
This weekend I had the fortunate opportunity to participate in my local Veteran's Day event at Veteran's Park. I got chosen to lower the flag to half mast after listening to so many amazing speeches given my veterans and parents on behalf of military members overseas.
This is a photo of me and one other cadet of my MCJROTC unit in our dress blues, before the wreath ceremony where I would lower the flag. (me on the right)
I also got to participate in my unit's Marine Corps Birthday ceremony as the chaplain, where I gave my invocation to the rest of my unit and parents.
The cake that was used. There is a chunk missing because of the cake cutting ceremony where a piece is the cut my the battalion commander and in turn passes it to the oldest and youngest cadet of the unit.
