Bagpipe Concert at the CMOC
This afternoon we were treated to an impromptu concert by LtCol Pat Carroll, who's been visiting with us here at the CMOC. I reckon the mood just struck him, and he climbed into the ring and began to play.
Next thing you know, he had an audience consisting of Marines, a Sailor, and interpreters, all struck by the haunting notes. Most moving for me was a medley consisting of "The Marine's Hymn," then a "Yankee Doodle" bridge right into "America The Beautiful" (which, as you know, already has some history here at the CMOC). Good stuff, to say the least.
More on LtCol Carroll and his piping background here.
Semper Fi!

There's nothing like the pipes!
I read your reports with relish and look forward to them. Your service is greatly appreciated and I pray for your continued success and safety.
Bless you and your fellow soldiers(and interpreters).
All my best- Dinah Lord
Stingray,
Many thanks for your hard work and dedication! Your blog updates are zealously read, discussed and enjoyed by all of us in NOLA. I have received notes from friends and family who have used your blog posts and photos a resource for women’s meetings, class current event studies and church study groups. Keep up the good work and get home soon.
