USMC Ball 2013
Dave and I were lucky enough this year to attend the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps Ball. Our friends Gary Kidwell and his girlfriend Emily attended the ball with us. Dave and flew to Maryland Friday morning and spent the day with Kidwell and Emily exploring Maryland and Annapolis. Saturday we went to Quantico and visited the USMC museum, and ate lunch before checking into the hotel to get ready for the ball.
The ball itself was definitively the most glamorous I have attended. We got to hear the Commandant deliver a speech as well as Dakota Meyers who was the guest of honor. We also got to hear the Presidents own Marine Corp Band. The Band played "Battle hymn of the Republic," which was very special to me seeing as it was a song my Grandfather loved. Overall the night was wonderful. It was great to get dressed up and celebrate the Marine Cops Birthday with friends.
