Katherine Dickens: Happy birthday to the Marine Corps!

Recently attended the 240th birthday celebration for Marine Corps League. Was very impressed by all the veterans attending. We owe them so much for all they have done. My husband had uncles who served and we are grateful! I will continue to remind my grandchildren about the sacrifice these veterans made for all of us.

Katherine Dickens, Salida
