October 1, 2003 -- The Marines are looking for a few good ballrooms.
Well, actually one will do.
As long as it's in Manhattan, not overly expensive and available on the evening of Nov. 8 for the officers and men of Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 25th Regiment of the 4th Marine Division - late of Nasiriyah, Iraq, by way of Kuwait and Campe Lejeune.

Thanks, kattracks. How refreshing to see America's press actually choose to help our heroes.
For more than 80 years now, tradition requires that, on or about that date, Marines take an evening to honor their past, to reflect on the present - and steel themselves and their families to whatever lies ahead.
Thus will the men of Weapons Company gather this year, on Nov. 8.
NY Post stepping out for the Marines, ping!

a $5,000 contribution from the Stop & Shop supermarket chain. We don't have many Stop & Shops around here, but I'll remember this donation and stop in for a purchase the next time I see one of their stores.

Where do we send the money?

Wonder if they've approached the Hilton Millennium Hotel across from Ground Zero about (very) special rates? They reopened recently and their proximity to the site might make them more appreciative of the Marines' service and their event. Sounds like a good PR move for Hilton to me.

Where do we send the money? Ask the author: E-mail: mcmanus@nypost.com
I imagine this article will result in a flow of donations. I certainly hope so.

Good question about the Hilton. This one article will get the Marines their ballroom.
What the press could do for our war efforts if they only would!
