My Brother and Sister Marines and Associates,
F
irst and foremost Happy Birthday Marines. Our high holiday is upon us once again 243 years old may we continue to uphold our Brotherhood for many more years to come. The past year of being your Commandant has flown by. We have gotten much accomplished in that time frame but we still have a lot more to do. I deeply appreciate all the help and support I have received from both the Associates and Marines. All we have done could not have happened without you.
My intention was to serve at least one more term as Commandant unfortunately due to health reasons I am unable to serve at this time. I have always stated that the transition of Commandants should be rather seamless no matter who is in the position they should have the best intentions for the Detachment. I wish you all the best.
Fair winds and following seas.
Fortes Fortuna Juvat
Semper Fidelis
Your Commandant Jack Schuster

The "Great War" or the "War to End All Wars" ground to a halt when a General Armistice was signed, and on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the guns fell silent. From August 1914 until the end of the war, some 10 million had died and another 20 million were wounded, many horribly maimed. In the relatively short time American forces were engaged, a matter of months, they took 2571,404 battle casualties of whom 53,402 died.

Millions more vets to be able to shop at exchanges online
Honorably discharged veterans could be able to shop online at military exchange websites as early as Veterans Day, barring any objections from Congress.
The change in Defense Department policy would open up online exchange shopping privileges to about 18 million more people. It won’t apply to shopping at brick-and-mortar exchange stores.
