Memorial Plaque Transferred
 to Active Duty Squadron 7-11-04


View the Resolution passed on 9 July 2004


Sunday morning, outside the Reno Hilton Hotel, we prepare to transfer.


Takes a lot of manpower to handle it at approximately 285 pounds.


Reverse the process at the Reno/Lake Tahoe International Airport.


The plaque is now in the capable hands of the Purple Fox crew.


Cpl. Paul Wood, the crew chief, is securing the plaque for the flight to California.


We all wait for the preflight to finish and bid the plaque farewell.
At some future date the plaque will reside permanently within the Semper Fidelis
Memorial Park, National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico, Va.
