Memorial Day 2009 - My Late Little Brother USMC
My little town has a pretty sharp ceremony in the local cemetary. VFW puts it on. Speakers, Honor Guard, Bugler. They have a remembrance table of pics for them that want to bring them. This year took along my late little brother's picture. He was a cold warrior in Marine Air, then later a Drill Instructor in San Diego.

Wore my Kathy Lare hand sewn Leatherneck tartan - 13 ounce from Strathmore Mills - and my new beaver fur L&M Sporran. Wore the red ghillie shirt and red Lewis kilt hose for BLOOD. There were a LOT of old vets there today, even an aging Navajo Code Talker. The Mayor and Justice of the Peace showed up. Maybe a hundred folks all together, everyone serious about Memorial day.
Here's a pleat shot of the Leatherneck taken later.

This was Kathy's kilt #1002 sewn back in March of 2007.

"I'll have a kilt please, a nice hand sewn tartan, 16 ounce Strome. Oh, and a sporran on the side, with a strap please."
