Gen. Smedley D. Butler Marine Corps League Detachment active on Veterans Day

Veteran’s Day is always a busy day for the Marines of the General Smedley D. Butler Detachment of the Marine Corps League.  This year’s Veteran’s Day was no exception.  The day started at the Paxon Hollow Country Club in Marple Township where the detachment provided a Color guard for the Veterans Breakfast.  Members of the VFW, American Legion, Marine Corps League and other veterans groups were present.

The Marines spent the rest of the day honoring our past and present veterans and active duty members of the Armed Forces by participating in ceremonies at the new Delaware County Veterans Memorial in Newtown Square, at Veterans Park in Broomall, at the American Legion Post 805 also in Broomall and by visiting elderly veterans at Highgate at Paoli Point in Paoli.  Highgate is an assisted living facility.
