SOUTH PORTLAND SEA CADETS PRESENT
AT WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA

wreaths

The cadets stayed last night and participated in the greeting of the
Wreaths Across America semi-tractor trailer
trucks and the escorting entourage at the Cabela’s store in Scarborough
Maine, on its route to Arlington Cemetery. 

It was a honor and privilege to have our cadets be a part of this event. 
They provided a Color Guard and
impeccably performed a flag ceremony to the “Old Glory” poem. 
I think I can speak for the attending adults
that we were moved to tears and so very proud of each and every
one of our cadets.

Following the Navy Birthday theme, RADM Buzby traced the birth,
development and expansion ofour Navy to the enduring qualities
of the men and women in each generation who stepped

CBNL President Capt Lee Fournier USNR (Ret)  presenting a gift on
behalf ofthe Council to RADM Mark Buzby

The CBNL hosted 20 crew members of the USS MICHAEL MURPHY by
subsidizing their attendance cost.  A note was received from the ship's
Commanding Officer sharing his gratitude for the CBNL support to this crew.
He shared that many crew members would not have been able to afford to
attend the Navy Ball, had it not been for the CBNL.  And many of his crew
stated that they had never been to a Navy Ball to celebrate the Navy's
birthday.

Our purposes are to maintain a memorial to those service members
who gave their lives in service to their country; and to promote a
better understanding and appreciation of the history of naval airborne patrol, especially the history of NASB and naval units based in Maine.  To that end we will maintain the  memorial and friendship gardens, establish and maintain museum facilities, collect and preserve artifacts, photographs, documents and other materials pertaining to that history, and among other things, mount ongoing educational activities including exhibits, research, publications, seminars, workshops, lectures and outreachprogramming.  Since its inception, NASB has been a vital
part of the Brunswick Community and vice versa.  This unique and
vital heritage needs to be preserved so that future generations will
obtain a betterunderstanding of that heritage.
