Ask any Foothills Young Marine what their favorite encampment site is and they will tell you Rollins Pass. Located at an elevation of 10 800 ft. above sea level Rollins Pass has breathtaking views and fresh mountain streams. It is the perfect place to build shelters hike to the glacier-fed lake and be a Young Marine. Even in all that beauty mankind still finds a way to mess it up by leav- ing trash behind. This year when we arrived at our campsite we found just that TRASH We spent several hours cleaning up and packing out the previous campers trash. When we left we had restored the area to how it should be. It was a valuable lesson in Leave No Trace policies. -- Submitted by Stacy Anderson Public Relations Officer Foothills CO Rollins Pass An Elevated Encampment in Colorado Music City A Memorial for Fallen Marines And Sailors By YMPVT Ricardo Ruiz Music City TN When we received an email from Mr. Mercerour Unit Commanderthat we had the opportunity to be part of a memorial service for the Chattanooga TN Fallen Marines and Sailors our unit was ready Many of us Music City Young Marines took time on two afternoons last July to assist in the memorial at Madison Fu- neral Home. We stood at the entrance and presented visitors with American Flags and also directed them to sign the memorial books and personalize hand written post cards for families. I spoke to the news reporter and later watched the ten oclock news. We saw ourselves featured on the evenings news broadcast. I appeared on-camera and told why I was there my mom was so proud. The president of Iraq Wars Veterans Association was very impressed with our group and commented on our disci- pline and how we demonstrated our respect for the fallen soldiers. Members of the Marine Corps League were present Saturday. This was my first military memorial and I felt the sadness for the families of those being honored. We had the chance to read their names ages and rank. Many cards had been hand written and were delivered to their families. Each soldiers picture was dis- played this was very moving. I am proud I par- ticipated in this memorial and I will always re- member this day. An elevated encampment Rollins Pass is at an elevation of more than 10000 feet above sea level and a favorite site among Young Marines. Honoring those fallen. Page 20 ESPRIT
