Each week I am honored to take a load of Marines from my RV park to a nice downtown Naples Florida Restaurant for the weekly luncheon of the E.T. Brisson Detachment 063 Marine Corps League..It is a good bunch of guys and one gal that assembles for a great lunch and a short meeting about what is going on and the efforts of this active group I have joined. Last week we may have set a record with 79 members I believe showing up...Usually around 60 to 70 make the show each week...It is fun to rub elbows with these remnants of men who served the nation during world war two in the Pacific Island battles..And the Korean conflict like the Chosin Resevoir campaigne...Then on to a large group who served in Nam and now and then one straggles in from more recent service such as Irag or Afganistan theaters....some into the 90's in age but still enjoying gathering each week to keep the Semper Fi spirit alive and well in this land....
Which brings me to Peon Power that shined up today the Alcoa wheels on my motor home.
As you can see yours truly the "the peon" who was the powder or the power to make them shine. I never will forget one NCO in the Marines who during thursday evening field days always referred to we workers as "peon powder". So if you look closely at those wheels you will see the peon powder reflecting back at you with camera in hand....A lot of effort or elbow grease but gratifying when it is done and one can so well see the guy who did it smiling back.....
