It’s been a busy month for Parris Island. On March 15th the 17th Annual Parris Island Sprint Triathlon took place and I’m proud to say I know some of the people who participated. Congratulations to everyone!
Wednesday March 19th at 11 am the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon, Drum and Bugle Corps and Marine Corps Color Guard performed on the Petross Parade Deck.
Later that same day at the Parris Island Museum, John C. Stevens, III author of Court Martial at Parris Island, the Ribbon Creek Incident, and Eugene Alvarez author of Parris Island, Once a Recruit, Always a Marine were in the gift shop signing books.
And on March 21, 2014 Milton Bice and some of the members of 2nd Battalion, Company L Platoon 217 toured Parris Island for the first time since they went through boot camp. How fortunate I am to have met such a wonderful group of Marines.
