State of the SFMC August 2016 (Remarks Given at IC on my Behalf) Marines, First, let me apologize for not being there with you. It was my original intent to make the drive down from Illinois and spend this weekend with you, but health and other concerns have made that unfeasible this year. I truly […]
State of the SFMC December 2015 Hello Marines, As I write this, I’m sitting at a table ready to wrap gifts as part of the 225th MSG’s charity wrapping project.
