Marine USMC show this Sunday at Arlington Park

I may be up for that, but, I would have the family in tow. The preakness is Saturday, Ima avoiding that at ALL costs, but, Sunday sounds like a good time. Maybe bringing papasan, 22 year jarhead vet.

Any other marines out there? Colonel Francis? Or is it still only senator Francis?

I have decided that I am 99% for Sunday. My dad since coming out of rehab for surgery hasnt been anywhere except to the grocery store. Barring a storm, I will be there. Also, if it does storm, chances are the show will be scaled back due to activities requiring a fairly dry environment. He needs to be in a whell chair for long periods, that is if we are standing for a bit, he cannot hold himself too long in the walker, thus, the wheel chair is needed.

Anyone know where I can get a good marine hat? Nothing online, I need it ASAP. I mean like a cap, not a real marine corp hat. The irony is that he NOW fits in his old uni. I dont know how appropriate it would be to wear that to the gig though.

Most likely will bring the rugrats too, they need to get out of bedlam for a bit as well.

Yessir there is a good chance we will stop by the Marine Week Finale today for Pron for my wife and I want to see the Silent Drill Team again

IT was a nice time, my dad was excited to just get out of the house. Although I think we missed the drill team, not even sure where that was, we examined all the military equipment and took in the sites. The only thing that sucked was that dad was getting a little anxious to head out, so we left just before the osprey came in which was the one thing I wanted to see. In fact, as we were going towards my house, we saw it fly over. DAMN! 
That thing has ENORMOUS props.

The drill team was just after 6pm. We managed to miss the whole event by going to the brother in laws house for grilled food

Ah shit! I just wish I had paid more attention to the list of events. Hell, I could have brought him back for that.
