Commander, US Marine Corps Forces Command - 9 May 2011

I want to relay my many thanks to everyone at Marine Corps Association
and Military Historical Tours for providing me the opportunity to
experience such a wonderful trip to Russia. Had I not won this trip
through MCA I may have never taken advantage of such fantastic
travels. The group, the Russian Tour guide (Oleg Alexandrov) and
Charlie Dunn were wonderful companions during the trip. It will be a
memory I will cherish all of my remaing days on this earth...

Sir (John Keenan),

I would like to personally thank you and the Marine Corps Association for providing the detachments of Region 5, Marine Corps Embassy Security Group with books through the Marine Corps Association. Passed as a “Best Practice” during our Spring Conference, the detachments have been encouraged to build their professional reading libraries over the past six months. With each visit I realized the value added to each detachment and each Marine as we discussed “Brilliance...

Ma'am (Stacey Lynn),

I received the shipment of plaques, books and certificates today for mail call. It was more exciting to me than candy or magazines! Thank you very much.

I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone at the association for sponsoring the Ground Awards Dinner on 3 June at the Crystal City Marriott. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were tremendously pleased with the hospitality shown to us and the great accommodations. As well, I wanted to thank the association for the DVD of the event that was mailed to me. It is something that I will keep and treasure for the rest of my days. Again, thanks for everything.

Semper Fidelis!...
