The word that former Marine Colonel John Bates uses
to describe the current disposition
of The USS ARIZONA Marine Corps Remembrance is "stewardship". The
steward being the ASYMCA Hawaii.
These photos (by Regis) of the handing over ceremony were
made at noon on April 19, 2006.
Not only were we blessed with a light rain, but also the Horlick High School
Choir from Racine, Wisconson
provided the 'music' for the event...
Among the honored guests were: Colonel Mark Schaefer
Sgt Major Lawrence Thompson
Ramona Robinson
Fred Sciulli
Stanley Long
David Gomez
Father/Chaplain Patrick J. McCormick, Commander USN
Eddie and Patty Sherman
