Marines at Pope's Creek

The Marines had a successful day at The George Washington Birthplace National Monument.  The weather held with storms threatening all around, but barely a drop at the site.  The Marines, 17th Light Dragoons, and a Brigade of the American Revolution Continental unit were there to demonstrate camp life, conduct a drill, and fired their muskets.  They enjoyed a lunch made in the hearth kitchen by their distaff and site intern Meagan Gay.  A very well attended event by the public that made participating very worth while.
