From the Leadership Team:
Sick Call
Commandant Michael Whelan has recently had surgery to address a heart problem. So far, the information on his condition is that he is progressing well. The detachment continues to keep Mike in our thoughts and prayers and hope for a speedy recovery.
Marine Corps Birthday Observation
With fellow Marines from all generations and all over the world, the detachment will celebrate the 247th Marine Corps Birthday. We will meet at the Framingham Elks Lodge at 450 Union Avenue in Framingham on 10 November at 1800 (6 PM). We will have the readings of the Commandant's message and Marine Corps Order 47, Series 1921, issued by General Lejeune. The order summarized the history, mission, and tradition of the Corps, and directed that it be read to every command on 10 November each subsequent year in honor of the birthday of the Marine Corps. This order has been duly carried out since then. The traditional cutting of the cake will be conducted. This is an opportunity to join with your fellow Marines, Corpsmen, and Chaplains to observe the Marine Corps Birthday. We encourage all members to attend and to invite family, friends, and potential members. We look forward to seeing you then.
The detachment is continuing to meet in person on the third Tuesday of each month at the Natick AMVETS on Superior Drive in Natick. Increasing attendance at meetings is an ongoing objective. The opportunity to bring your energy and ideas and to participate in planning future activities. Making an active effort to attend scheduled meetings and to invite potential members will contribute to the future of the detachment.
