ESPRIT Page 13 ByYM LCpl Savannah Sailer-Torres and YMPfc Riley Hague Douglas County CO We were honored to celebrate Veterans Day at the Marine Corps Memorial in Golden CO.We set up more than 50 flags and participated in the ceremony to honor veterans. There were many honored guests there and it was wonderful to give thanks to such amazing people. It was a very cold Veterans Day this year in Castle Rock Colorado. Douglas County Young Marines provided a joint color guard to honor our veterans. It was really inspiring to see so many veterans come out in the 10-degree weather. It was a great experience to march in a parade with other units and see many people showing support for our veter- ans. It was easy to spot the veterans in the crowd because even if they could barely stand up they did in order to sa- lute the colors as we marched by. At the memorial we had the chance to talk to some of the veterans. There was one I remember in particular. She was a World War II veteran that went through a lot to become a Marine but she accomplished a lot so far and is still go- ing hard at the age of 98. Not everyone gets to take part in events that are so extraordinary so being able to take part in them are rare opportunities.

By YMSgt Cassandra Roache Miami Valley OH On one cool Sunday after- noon a group of dedicated Young Marines volunteered to give back to those who often give everything for their country Veterans. Approximately eight hours after presenting the Na- tional Colors to welcome home a large group of Hon- or Flight veterans returning from seeing their memorial in Washington DC the Mi- ami Valley Young Marines geared up again for another oppor- tunity to show their appreciation to our veterans service to their country. The unit worked together to cook and serve a hearty lunch of spaghetti with meatballs salad and a slice of pie to top it all off. The lunch was served at the local church where our unit meets and we served approximately 150 meals to local vet- erans and their families. Monetary donations were collected and do- nated to the churchs Fill the Boot program a program that sends much needed supplies to those currently serv- ing overseas. After a long weekend the Miami Valley Young Marines could finally rest knowing they had done well to give back to our veterans. Miami Valley Hosts Spaghetti Luncheon for Veterans
