Drove the Alfa Romeo all the way to South Bend, Sioux Falls, then drove Anne's car to the Black Hills. Saw our older Aunts, visited cousins, inspected our ranch.

Memorial Day - Glenview Naval Air Station
I began Memorial Day very early at The Glen, an upscale development in Glenview, Illinois. It was formerly the large Glenview Naval Air Station. I spent many years there in the Marine Corps Reserve. Glenview was the Headquarters for the entire Reserve Marine Aircraft Wing.
Most Marine Reserve Units were mobilized for the first Iraq War in 1990. I was the Commanding Officer of MWCS-48 and our Marines did well on active duty. More about MWCS-48 at: http://mwcs.blogspot.com/
During the build up to the war we were very busy getting our troops ready. I really wanted to go myself, but was more reticent about the Squadron. I did ask the troops, informally at the rifle range, for a show of hand of who wanted to get mobilized and who did not. The vote was about 50/50. Then I asked if we were mobilized how many Marines wanted to go to Iraq. The vote was again about 50/50, but not necessarily the same people. Some wanted to go and to go to the war, some did not want to get mobilized but if they did they wanted the war, and of course some did not want either one. About 1/2 of our Squadron was mobilized but we went to North Carolina and Norway. Only one of our Squadron members made it to Iraq. One of our pilots was killed.
