BRONZE PLAQUE DEDICATION
DECEMBER 7, 2013
On December 7, 2013 this Memorial Plaque was dedicated with a simple, but very touching, ceremony at the Marine Corps Heritage Museum in Quantico, VA. It now hangs proudly in a place of honor among the other plaques mounted on the stone stacked wall of the Freedom Trail, located in the beautiful Semper Fidelis Memorial Park.
Approximately 70 One Seven Marines and family members gathered in Quantico, VA for the weekend event. It began with an informal dinner at the Globe and Laurel Restaurant on Friday evening and continued with a lunch and the ceremony itself on Saturday afternoon. The 1st BN, 7th Marine Vietnam Association would like to thank all who donated the funds to make this plaque possible. A special thank you goes out to all who turned out on a very cold and windy weekend to make this plaque dedication an event to remember.
