UNIT MYYM North San Diego (CA) Young Marines pause for a photo on their way to the Division 6 Labor Day Encampment. BY YM/PFC Jaedyn-oni Ajero San Diego (CA) My unit attended the National Navajo Code Talkers Day. The trip was fun, and I learned about the Navajo Code Talkers, who fought in WWII. The San Diego unit and others went to the Navajo Code Talkers Museum to learn about the Navajo people. While in Arizona, we were able to meet many of them. During the visit to the Navajo Code Talkers Day, I ran the Generations of Honor 5K Run. It was a fun experience. Also that day, we did the 300 Push-ups challenge. I earned a 300 Push- ups Club t-shirt. I never have done 300 push-ups before, so I felt as sense of accomplishment. I look forward to attending the National Navajo Code Talkers’ Day next year. On Sept 13th, members of the Three Rivers (CT) Young Marines held a “fill the combat boot for Florida” in front of the local police department. Over a period of six hours, the Young Marines raised $3,000,00. The money is earmarked for the Florida Regiment Young Marines to assist any Florida Young Marines family. On Sunday, Sept 3rd the Three Rivers Young Marines held a similar event for the victims of the Houston,TX flood. In that event, the Young Marines raised $3320.00 . As Three Rivers drills at the Coast Guard Academy, this money is earmarked to the Coast Guard Petty Officer fund of Texas. - Submitted by Patrick McMahon / UC Three Rivers (CT) Young Marines Three Rivers: Helping Florida,Texas Units Affected by Flooding North San Diego: On the Road to Our Labor Day Encampment National Navajo Code Talkers Day: I Hope to Return Next Year By YM/ PVT Brock Waldron Camp White (OR) I joined the Young Marines in March of 2017. I am going to tell you about the time I brought my friend from China, David, to the Young Marines to see if he would want to join. I think he really liked the experience of being there. David jumped right in and he even did training with me. There is a chance that he may even join the Young Marines. David came and lived with us for a few weeks while his mom went back to China.
