Echo Company 2/7
Monument Dedication
|
|
Echo Company 2/7 Vietnam Veterans Chapter members attend the dedication of a monument memorializing the 87 Marines and FMF Corpsmen killed in action during the Vietnam War 1965-70.
They came from everywhere.
They came from Alabama and Florida and the hills of North Carolina. They came from New England and New York, Long Island, Connecticut and Ohio. They came from the Mid-West, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee. From the open ranges of Kansas and Oklahoma to the Rocky Mountian States. From Oregon and the Pacific Northwest to the deserts of Arizona to the shores of California. They came from everywhere. The Marines of Echo Company 2/7, 1st Marine Division. Some drove from Texas, others came by bus, airplanes and by train. Some walked many miles coming together to honor our fallen heroes. But it was not just the Marines of E 2/7. Also coming from around the country was the next-of-kin of many of the fallen. They came to pay tribute, together, as one Company, one family, to honor our fallen, and uncover a Monument in their honor. It was a most hallowed and honored occasion. They all stood together as they did during the Vietnam War.
On cannot express enough gratitude to Marty Higgins, Bill Dyer, Skip Johnson, Randy Patterson, and the monument committiee. And wifes who worked so hard, without compensation, to make this event possible. They showed commitment and unselfish donation of time. They asked nothing in return except for us to attend.

The Monument is beautiful and inspires anyone who has seen it. When in DC go to Quantico and visit Semper Fidelis Park where the Echo 2/7 Memorial Monument. Visit the Museum of the Marine Corps adjacent. It will be a day you'll always remember.
The week of June third will always be remembered. It was a time of friendship, reflection, and inner peace knowing the brave, fallen heroes of Echo Company, Second Battalion, Seventh Marines will never be forgotten. One would stand before the Monument in awe, looking at its beauty and craftsmanship. To be there and touch the smooth granite with names etched in, gave an electric experience never to be forgotten. A honored experience to say the least..
The Monument committiee did a outstanding job. Their hard work and devotion deserves a heart-felt thank you and a OhRaaah from all of us.

Tex wants all to know that Armed Forces Reunions Inc. ( AFRI) is handling all registrations. Banquet table assignments will be handled on site at the reunion. I have posted a link to the AFRI Registration Web Site well as the El Tropicano Hotel below.
All questions on the Reunion go to AFRI. (Registration, Tours, Banquet etc.) If they have a problem or cannot satisfy the caller they will call Tex. Please refer any and all questions to AFRI.
We have hired AFRI to run the mechanics of this reunion and we need to rely on their experience and use their services.

STATUS OF THE 1st MARINE DIVISION ASSOCIATION
AS OF OCTOBER 1, 2009
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MEMBERSHIP
(Under President's Message are Action's Taken thus far)
My sincere thanks and appreciation to the membership for electing me President of the 1st Marine Division Association. As you know, this Association is based on the camaraderie of members who have served in the 1st Marine Division since its founding on February 1, 1940. We, of the 1st Marine Division Association, are a band of brothers of the most decorated Marine Division in the history of the United States Marine Corps.
In taking on the responsibility of President at this particular time, I have inherited a host of challenges, most dealing with the weak financial position that the organization has been struggling with for several years. However, the mission is quite clear and requires change, re-organizing and the establishment of new policies that will allow the Association to gain new financial independence and at the same time, accumulate growth.
Many have asked the question, how did the Association inherit all these financial problems? The answer is in two parts. A number of years back, financial mismanagement of a large portion of the Association's operating funds were dramatically reduced, which we have never truly been able to fully recover.
Also, today, we have 3,464 annual dues paying members who are trying to support an organization of 10,816 members. This is due to the fact that out of 10,816 members, 7,344 are life members and through no fault of the life members, past administrations did not anticipate the huge future inflationary reduction in the fund that also led to our present problem. The simple fact is that 3,464 dues paying members cannot support an association of 10,816 members.
Our dues have not been changed in years and will be increased for all dues paying members to $35.00 per year, to partially offset the operating expenses of the Association.
In addition, I am asking all members to make a yearly contribution to the General Fund for whatever amount you can afford.
We are in the process of obtaining some significant fund raising contributions; however, until that becomes a reality, I feel the aforementioned request will carry us through the present financial shortfall, while future fund raising efforts, if fully supported by Association members, will generate the necessary revenue to support operations once and for all.
I promise financial prudence during my administration and appreciate your assistance. If we, an Association of Brothers, pull together in the same direction, we will solve these problems.
Semper Fidelis
Michael J. Carone
President FMDA
ACTION TAKEN
The Association is moving into a severe financial situation and we are scaling down the operation. The Executive Committee has taken the following actions:
1. Executive Committee members are meeting weekly via eleconference to discuss and resolve the critical financial situation.
2. We are exploring the possibility of sending the Old Breed News electronically to known e-mail addresses. If e-mail addresses are not available, members would access the Association web site to secure the newsletter.
1stmarinedivisionassociation.org
3. The Oceanside office is operating on reduced costs
a. Executive Director's time has been reduced to 20 hours per week.
b. Office Manager's time has been reduced to 20 hours per week.
4. Oceanside Office Phones reduced to one line - 760-967-8561
b. Fax line will remain open - 760-967-8567
5. High Volume copy machine has been returned.
6. Director Meeting will not be held in San Antonio but in Oceanside, CA in conjunction with the Division Anniversary to save expenses. It will be held approximately the last week of January 2010.
The above actions are necessary for the Association to be solvent in January 2010. |
