Hello all!
Well I lied last week. There is a column this week, it’s next week this spot will be empty and then we’ll carry on as usual.
I hope you all have a great T-Day.
This in from Bronx County Commander, Colleen McCarthy: Miriam Cohen, the oldest living Marine passed away this past Veterans Day at the age of 102. After her service, she became very active in Veterans’ Affairs and spent much time in helping those vets in need.
