I received these photos from Leatherneck Marine Friend member gus. Yesterday him and his father traveled to Belleau Wood France from their home in Belgium for the annual Belleau Wood ceremony. This year the Commandant was not in attendance as he is in Iraq, but the Silent Drill Team and Drum and Bugle Corps was. I hope that you enjoy these photos as much as I did. Thank you gus for sharing with us, having the support of you and your father and our other European members means a great deal to us.
Jim

That was a good stretch of pictures. My Great Grandpa was a survivor of that infamous battle. :usmc:

Outstanding Jim - thanks for sharing.
Nice to know that at least once a year the French remember what this country has done for them....again and again.

Have we forgotten that France saved America ?
