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.
