MCL - Yankee Det #255 Marine Corps League Birthday Celebration

 

Marines, 

 

We are making final preparations for our Marine Corps Birthday celebration Friday 12 Nov 2021, 1900hrs. Due to the pandemic and our inability to generate revenue we are asking for a suggested donation of $20 per person for the evening, this includes the full meal and open bar. This is a suggested donation, we hope all understand, we will not turn away anyone that is not able to donate.

American Legion - New York City Veterans Day Parade ASSEMBLY LOCATION AND TIME

A MESSAGE FROM THE NEW YORK DEPARTMENT ADJUTANT

James W. Casey

 

Legionnaires,

    The American Legion Department of New York will once again be marching down the ‘CANYON OF HEROS’ in New York City on Veterans Day, November 11^th, 2021. The parade was cancelled last year due to the ongoing pandemic and there are still some limitations in the city, and we will be following them to the letter. The Lt. B.R. Kimlau Post #1291 color guard will be leading us this year and the American Legion float will follow us down the parade route. You are welcome to ride the float if you need to but remember it is limited in space. A few years back the weather was extremely cold and windy so please dress appropriately. The parade committee only allows us one color guard and no additional flags or banners except for the DNY American Legion banner. I have been informed that a contingent from National Headquarters will be attending and doing a podcast along the route. Delegations from our neighboring states are also planning to attend and it will be nice to see them once again as things slowly creep back to normal. In previous years we have assembled around noon on 28^th Street between 6^th Avenue and Broadway and we dispersed at 48^th Street. Traditionally we would assemble at P. J. Morgan’s pub after the parade to raise a glass to all our fellow Veterans who were not with us on that day, I’m sorry to say that that will not happen this year due to Covid restrictions. If you would like to continue the tradition, please don’t bring a large group to a pub as some still have capacity restrictions and Covid Vaccination cards may be required. As soon as I am notified of our exact staging area and time, I will let you know. Please come and join us as we salute our fellow Veterans and continue this great tradition.
