From the Helm Gary D. Nasby- Commandant
Hiram I. Bearss Det. #089
I think that spring is here, eyes are watering and I am sneezing
so I am pretty sure. And it is raining.
With spring comes new life in the world and a renewal of old
things. In this Detachment this year we have a group of officers
who have each come up with a plan of what they want to do for the
year as their duties in the office they hold. I will be publishing
their goals and I want you each to read them and see what you can
do as a member to help them achieve their goals.
One officer who has his hands full, is the new
Adjutant-Paymaster Mike Wukitsch, who has taken on the new duties
as Paymaster. This is probably the most important officer position
in the League, so I wish him well in his endeavors, and I hope you
all do too. I am sure he will do a fine job, and to our outgoing
paymaster who wanted more time to devote to her family, I thank you
for a job well done, and for working with Mike to turn over a
smooth run-ning position so that the Detachment doesnt miss a beat
in achiev-ing its goals.
Two months from now we will be hosting the Department summer
convention, on June 13-15. Beth Troxell will be calling to get
vol-unteers to help out in various duties. Please help and
volunteer to do a few hours helping us run a smooth Convention, and
provide a great time for the rest of the States League members who
have traveled to our fine city to meet and enjoy the camaraderie of
Ma-rines. Even if its only a few hours it will help. You will make
new friends and are welcome to attend meetings and training classes
also. Guss Kissee will also be sending out notice that we need fire
watch at the Barracks for a rental that weekend, so if you cant
help at the Convention, please think about doing a fire watch
stint.
Remember you will get out of your membership what you put into
it! So do some small or big part, and get to know us all and make
new friends.
I am available at for your comments and discussion:

Commentary by Jim Wade Central Division Aide de Campe
And to the Republic for which it stands, The basis of a Republic
is that all people have an inalienable right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. Inalienable is defined as that which
cannot be taken away or transferred. I am hoping to define in the
shortest way, exactly what a Republic is. Our Founding Fathers
recognized that with no government, a state of anarchy would erupt.
They knew that a democracy, which is best de-scribed as decision
making by the masses of the whole people (mob-rule) can work in
small groups like a family but not in large popula-
tions. The founders were determined that the whole people should
elect their own representatives, and then require those
representatives to study the issues and make their laws on that
basis. The power base would be split into three branches, the
Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. The Constitution was
designed to provide a check and balance to government, allowing for
peaceful means of maintaining and restoring freedom in the event
one branch becomes power hungry and abusive. The Right to petition
and redress government for grievances allows us this peaceful
course of action as opposed to another revolution, unless we, the
people are ignored. Back in 1928, the Department of Defense printed
a Defense Technical manual (TM-2000-25) which warned of the dangers
of a Democracy. It explained the advantages of our Republican form
of government, stating that it results in statemanship, liberty,
reason, justice, contentment and pro-gress. A Republic is a
delicate vessel which holds the ingredients necessary for Liberty
and Free-dom to exist. My family came to America, into the Virginia
territory in 1611. I believe the torch of Freedom was passed from
father to son with explicit instructions on how to keep the tree of
Liberty growing from generation to generation. When I look at my
elected Senators and Representatives of today, I am very
disappointed to see that they are violating their oath of office
daily. I do not call this Respectable. I am certain that our
Constitution and Bill of Rights are fine, just as written. But
daily, our Con-gress seems to ignore the document that binds them
to follow the set rule of law. There are political parties other
then the Republican and Democrat, both of which are expert at
fin-ger pointing to blame the OTHER PARTY for all ills. Problem is
that both parties are the ones who voted to spend, spend, spend us
into bankruptcy. My final instructions if you truly care about our
Nation, our pledge, our Freedom is to study the Constitution, Bill
of Rights and especially the Declaration of Independence. Read the
writings of our Founders and you will find that they were very
intelligent men of vision. My most sincere prayer is that you will
keep the torch of Freedom burning brightly in your self and
encourage others to do the same. In Liberty True American James

3 April 1945: On Okinawa, Marines of the III Amphibious Corps
continued to make good progress all along their front, clear-ing
Zampa Misaki and seizing the Katchin Peninsula, thus effectively
cutting the island in two. By this date (D+2), III AC ele-ments had
reached objectives thought originally to require 11 days to
take.
5 April 1947: Five Marine guards were killed and eight wounded
when attacked by Communist Chinese raiders near the Hsin Ho
ammunition depot in Northern China. This last major clash between
Marines of the 1st Marine Division and Communist forces occurred
shortly after withdrawal and redeployment plans from China were
issued for the 1st Division and 1st Marine Aircraft Wing on 1
April.
10 April 1959: Lieutenant Colonel John H. Glenn, Jr. was named
as one of the original seven Project Mercury astronauts selected
for space training. The seven astronauts, all volunteers, were
selected by NASA from an initial group of 110 leading military test
pilots. Three years later, on 20 February 1962, Col Glenn would
become the first American to orbit the Earth.
12-13 April 1918: Marines of the 4th Brigade suffered their
first gas attack on the night and early morning hours of 12-13
April when the Germans bombarded the 74th Company, 6th Marines near
Verdun with mustard gas. Nine Marine officers and 305 enlisted
Marines were gassed and evacuated, and 30 Marines died from the
effects of the gas shells which hit in the middle of the reserve
area cantonments in which they were sleeping.
15 April 1962: Marine Corps operational involvement in the
Vietnam War began on Palm Sunday when HMM-362 with its Sikorsky
UH-34s arrived at Soc Trang in the Delta south of Saigon. The task
unit was called "Shufly" and its first operational employment
involved lifting Vietnamese troops into battle.
18 April 1983: One Marine Security Guard was killed and seven
were wounded when a large car bomb exploded just outside the U.S.
Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. Lance Corporal Robert McMaugh was
standing guard at Post 1, just inside the front entrance when the
bomb exploded outside the door. The explosion killed 61 people
including 17 Americans. LCpl McMaugh was buried at Arlington
National Cemetery on 26 April.
21 April 1951: Marine carrier-based airplanes made their first
aerial contact with enemy planes over the Korean front lines.
Captain Philip C. Delong shot down two YAK fighters and 1st
Lieutenant Harold D. Daigh destroyed one more and damaged another
in the heavily defended Pyongyang-Chinnanpo area. Both pilots were
with VMF-312 flying from the USS Bataan.
27 April 1805: First Lieutenant Presley N. O'Bannon, who with
seven other Marines was part of a force of Greeks and Arabs led by
American Consul William Eaton, raised the United States flag for
the first time over a conquered fortress of the Old World at Derne,
a stronghold of the Tripolitan pirates. Two Marines were killed and
one wounded in the assault on the walled city.
28 April 1993: The last A-6E Intruder departed from Marine Corps
service. Marine All Weather Attack Squadron 332 trans-ferred the
last Marine A-6E to St. Augustine, Florida, and prepared for the
squadron's transition to the F/A-18D and eventual movement from
Cherry Point to Beaufort, South Carolina.
