Message from Gil;

Greetings fellow Scout members,

As you all are aware that last year's marching through History and it's organizers through Jeff Sharp gave our group official recognition for winning first place for best encampment in the 1900 up to WWII event.
I hope most of you will give full support for this event and continue the proud tradition of the scouts by representing them in this big event. Specially in the parade of units!

For those definetly attending print this out as the parking pass for marching through History.

Sorry Philip I didnt bring a camera.
Saturday I was with the 34th ID and Sunday I went as a Scout
more members came down for Sunday, but no big crowds like Saturday
Donald did alot of filming of us, which was alot of fun we even did some Common Wealth
The Japanese guys Otsumi and Russell were in the filming and in one of the scenes that Joe wanted to do was a Japanes bayoneting a GI during a Death March scene and Otsumi broke down in tears...he felt really bad doing that scene.

I forgot the name of the PS vet who was there Saturday "Dr."
Well he made a comment to me in private...thanking us for what we are or we were doing. He said to me in a manner like...without our living history he and his fellow soldiers would just be a memory. He is very proud of us.
Also Sunday General Ortega was there too.

A passerby commented on how well the sign was made "USAFFE.." and I said that the was made by a guy named Philip Garcia.

Rudy kept downing those frothy cappachinos.

[legionnaire]

I'm glad Dr. Isabelo Torio really enjoyed and appreciated all the hard work you all represented. Dr. Torio was with 26th Cav. PS headquarters. communicatons operator.

Two members of the greatest generation on hand!

frothy cappuchino's ? That is not the real Rudy No SAN MIGUEL!!! Like a true scout!

I did not have the opportunity to thank Gil for making the effort to bring the gear out and set up the display with the help of Rudy and Donald.

Gil was busy with PHILIPPINE DISASTER RELIEF ORGANIZATION (PeDRO) collecting relief goods from the community to be sent to the Philippines to help out with the flood victims the whole week.

Here are some images.


I wonder how much he had last night?

Russell and Otsume (or "Ots") were great.
Ots really felt bad for doing the bayoneting scene...wonder if Donald got it on film
cause Ots wasnt acting at all as he was crying
