This month we will dig deep into the Sea Chest of HMCM Mark Hacala to commemorate the 124th anniversary of the sinking of the USS Maine and the 77th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima. Master Chief Hacala has put together some short videos on the two subjects. We will follow up with a short business meeting and discussion.
