The first week-end of September we were in San Diego for the Reunion of the
USMC
3rd 8 inch Howitzer Battery
This reunion was held at the Crowne Plaza in San Diego, CA. I'm not sure of the total number of people, but the turn out was good. It was good to renew friendships we made from the last years gathering.
Last year we went to a Boot Camp Graduation at the base.
This year they had arranged a tour of Camp Pendleton that included a display of some of their equipment. They got an up-close inspection and good question and answer session.
Cheryl set up a Tea and Lunch at the Coral Tree Tea House in Old Town San Diego. Eight of us went and are all looking forward to going again next year.
The highlight of the trip was when John brought in his 8" round for display in the hospitality suite. We brought a pen for all the veterans to sign the round.
John has the round on display in his front room.
