Hugs From Home

Every year, the Oceanside Elks Lodge hosts a Thanksgiving meal for our active duty military and their families to thank them for their hard work and sacrifice. Here are some photos of this years event :)

"I would to thank you very much for the morale box Steve Allen sponsored and the Elks Lodge sent to us at the 15th MEU. It was the best box we've seen by far. It is being shared by many Marines and has been a huge hit.

We greatly appreciate everyone thinking about us out here.

Very respectfully,

David C. Segraves
Maj, USMC
Staff Judge Advocate
15th Marine Expeditionary Unit"

"Our platoon sends the deepest gratitude for the care package we received in Okinawa sent from you! It's awesome to know that people are thinking of us back in the states during the time we are away from family and friends. We are all greatly appreciative of your thoughts and efforts, and how a simple gesture can brighten our days.

Thank you again, and enjoy your week!
