    Commandant's Message

    Marines,

    On Thursday, July 15th I attended a memorial service for one of our detachment members. Marine Lyle Enos “Mike” Cornwall was memorialized in a very moving ceremony. Mike was an Iwo Jima Marine, landing with the third assault wave on 19 Feb 45. He survived 33 days of intense fighting on that island and returned from WWII, was discharged, and lived a productive and fruitful life. Not too long ago I also attended a service for another of our Iwo Jima Marines, Jack Lewis. Both of these gentlemen were part of the “Greatest Generation” and served during a time when America was truly at war. They were husbands, fathers, and provided for their families. They lived good lives and will not be forgotten. They are Marines and contributed to the legacy of our Corps. Semper Fidelis Jack and Mike.

    Bring a Marine with you to our next Detachment meeting.

    Semper Fidelis,

    Michael Wilson
