Departing GoE Orange County Troop Member:

 Michael R. Greene

LTC, Marine Corps (Retired)

 Mike was presented with a “Challenge Coin,” from the Troop, which had been engraved with GOE-NY on it.  The coin reflected his Marine Corps and  VN Era service.

(Diane designed and built the presentation box, which included a short narrative on the beginning of the Marine Corps (Tun Tavern))  Good Job, Diane!!  A farewell card was signed by the Troop members, as well.

We had crockpot chili,  Italian bread and cupcakes.

 Mike will be missed (as both a friend and Troop member) as he has been a mainstay since “Day 1” and has been my backup and “goto “ Troop member, as well!  Mike has also served as the “Site Commander and Leader of the flag ceremonies which we conduct at flag raising and lowering.”

 Along with you folks, present were Diane, Everist, Doug and me.  Bill and Sandy stopped by for a few minutes and we enjoyed their company. 

Later, Joann and her two daughters dropped by as well. 

Again, our special thanks to you and John for your continued support and participation with us.
