[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1825948, member: 18945"] Veteran's Day was kind of a strange deal this year. Nov 11 but it was 'observed' yesterday because it's a federal holiday and if the 11th falls on a weekend, it's observed the previous Friday or the following Monday to give federal workers a day off. Here's to Veterans all, past and present! [ATTACH type="full" alt="day at the beach.jpg"]36869[/ATTACH] Yesterday, was also the 248th birthday of the Marines, which is a big deal to all Marines all around the world. I had my cake and my 1 drink for the year...at home, but in past decades, I have attended quite a few Marine Corps balls. Sound fun...The official Marine Corps birthday ball celebrations tho, start off very somber, as spelled out in the Marine Corps Drill Manual, and it is a dress blues/or black tie/evening gown type affair. There is a serious and defined protocol for about an hour, depending who the guest speaker is and how long it takes the senior person there to read the official proclamation. But, as the evening goes on, after the cake cutting ceremony (a sword is used) and the introductions and a mingling period, a meal is often served, the bar opens and things get a little 'relaxed'.
