While YMPFC Joe Julian may be the young- est and smallest member of the Mountain View Young Marines at 8 years old his heart is bigger than most. Each week he sets aside part of his allowance for charity. Lovingly referred to as Little foot in the unit he is already leaving a mark as an outstanding Young Marine. Finding out that he would be in downtown Denver participating in the Veterans Day parade this year he decided to use that money he had been saving. He knew there were homeless that were hungry and wanted to help and help he did. He took his savings and went to to the grocery store and bought all the fixings for sack lunches. He then made 18 lunches by himself and packaged them up for the trip downtown. As he delivered each lunch to some of the many homeless in Denver he was greeted with warmth and gratitude. YMPFC Julian is a fine example of selflessness and compas- sion. The future is in great hands with Young Marines like PFC Joe Julian. -- Submitted by Traci Waters Mountain View CO A Young Marine Chooses to Help the Homeless in Colorado Last October the Orleans Parish Young Marines con- ducted their annual Veterans Stand Down where local veterans in the area were served by a clothes drive a job and housing fair health screenings and were treat- ed to some excellent Louisiana cuisine.

Matthew Registered Adult Volunteer OPSO 4 LA Orleans Parish Young Marines Conduct Veterans Stand Down Just a Reminder Young Marines June 14 is FLAG DAY By YMPFC Elijah Degado Eagle CA I am surprised that so many Americans dont know that Flag day is June 14th.SoI want to help spread the word. The Eagle CA Young Marines went to LaMesaCA to participate in the Flag Day Parade. We performed color guard and marched for three miles carrying the large American flag. We arrived and unpacked our flags and rifles. We then started practicing color guard because as our Unit Commander and our Excecutive Officer told us practice makes perfect.We practiced be- cause we wanted to be the best in the parade. Then it was time to begin. We each picked up the big American Flag and started marching. We had Police and Firefighters help carry our Flag. They would stand up and salute as we marched by. There were more than 100 groups in the pa- rade and we were the only group carrying the big flag. It was a real honor. Remember Flag Day is June 14th and spead the word ESPRIT Page 15
