Tito Francona was there today, too.
I went to my fifth, and the 27th annual Boston Semper Fidelis Society birthday luncheon, today in South Boston. They said close to 2,000 Marines showed up, with a few others sprinkled in. I met and got pictures with General Conway, the Commandant of the Marine Corps. There was SEVEN, living Medal of Honor recipients there -- I shook every hand and thanked each and every one of them for their service,, my knees were shaking a bit, I'll be honest with ya. Tito Francona, the manager of the Red Sox was there, and sat at the head table next to the Commandant. Tito's son is a Marine Lieutenant deployed overseas. It was amazing. I got some pictures to share, and some video. The best thing about the video will really be the audio because I used my camera for the video feed. But the Commandant told a few good jokes that you might enjoy if you care to listen. Plus I have the singing of the Marine Corps Hymn, which I'll be blaring and drinking to all night..........
Semper Fi, Marines -- Happy Birthday -- I hope you enjoy. I did!
