Department Commandants Message
Members and Marines of the Department of New York,
As we approach this weekend, this
weekend of Memorial Day, let us look back to those who came before and
remember that Armed Forces day is for those currently in uniform,
Veterans day is for those who wore the uniform, and this weekend,
Memorial day is for all those who never had to chance to take it off.
Maybe we knew some, maybe we didn't, maybe we saw or heard of some who never returned. Memories you'll never forget.
Forget the sales, the parties and even the day off from work. Think about them, our Brothers and Sisters who gave all.
Lastly, ask your friends, your family,
your co-workers and so on to please not wish you a happy Memorial day
because there is nothing happy about it.
Be well, be safe and remember.
Thomas Wortmann
Commandant

Email Scam
Marines,
Commandant Wortmann has reported that
someone is "Spoofing" his name and sending emails to his contacts,
requesting that he needs money, gift cards, or similar things. He is not
requesting this, and if you note, the email is not coming from his
email address (look at the email address). Please disregard these
requests. If its not his email address, then it is a phony.
