Event Description

The United States Marine Corps will partner with the city of Cleveland, Ohio, to bring Marine Week to the nation’s Rock and Roll Capital, June 11-17, 2012. Marine Week is a celebration of community, country and Corps, and provides the unique experience to directly connect the American public and Marines.

Marine Week is a celebration of community, country and Corps, and it provides the unique experience to directly connect the American public with hundreds of Marines. During the week, Clevelanders will have the opportunity to climb aboard state-of-the-art aircraft and ground equipment, check out the latest military technology and combat weaponry, witness hand-to-hand martial arts demonstrations and engage in clinics with Marine Corps sports teams, all while taking in the sights and sounds of the Silent Drill Platoon and Marine Corps Band. Marines will be lending a hand to local communities through dozens of community service projects, including neighborhood clean-ups, park restorations and housing rebuilds. The week will culminate with a simulated full-scale combat demonstration, as the Marines highlight their unique capabilities to fight our country’s battles in the air, on land and at sea.

All Marine Week events are free and open to the public. The Marine Week schedule, including dates and event locations, will be announced early spring of 2012.

~ I've tried to reach a couple of older members about the activities that week; but haven't heard any responses back to my 'friend requests'; so that we can try to finalize our planning options.

~ Cathy & I should like to be attending the dinner on Friday night, at Michael Symon's one place, If it materializes. We also have considered being in on the 'Invasion', on Saturday. We're not sure what other activities, that we might be able to attend that week.

~ Sincerely Respectfully, & as Always, Prayerfully for ALL . . . .

~ a Marine~Dad~Grandpa friend, Mike

~ Always Faithful ~

Comment by OhQMom on March 16, 2012 at 8:20am: I got an answer back from someone at USMC in charge of the week:

Barb:
All activities concerning Marine Week Cleveland will occur downtown Cleveland. The footprint includes Voinovich park, the Science Center, Public Square, and adjacent to Progressive Field. On the weekend of the 17 June there will be activity at Burke Lakefront Airport in the form of a mock invasion. If they stay centrally located downtown they will catch it all.

Comment by OhQMom on March 15, 2012 at 2:42pm: Very good question. I only wish I could find out where the activities are planned for. I'm on it. As soon as I know something more I'll post it.
