WOO HOO...........the K/3/5 Marines are home.

How about a cyber party? Come one...Come all. Help us celebrate another homecoming.

We’ve got music…….

The Boys are Back by Thin Lizzy

We’ve got dancers……..

We’ve got amusement…….

We’ve got food……

And, we’ve got drink…..

However, at a cyber party you're only allowed 2. We don't encourage drinking and FReeping. You know what they say, FRiends don't let FRiends drink and FReep.

Leave your keys at the door. We have a designated driver

A SPECIA "KUDOS" GOES OUT TO MIKE ANDERSON FOR HIS BRAVERY IN SUPPORTING THE TROOPS DESPITE HIS PERSONAL LOSS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON AND YOUR SACRIFICE
