Reunion Notes
Raising the Bar
HAPPY NEW YEAR MEGA members and on to
St Louis
Another reunion is just about upon us, and with that
comes another Marine House gathering for song,
story and questionable anecdotes. We hope to provide
everyone with his or her favorite libations. To make
the Marine House work as well as possible, we need a
few volunteers. You all remember the word “volunteers”
don’t you? As usual, no experience is necessary and
that’s why the pay is lousy. No kidding, if you can
tend bar for a few hours some time during the reunion,
please let me know. Any ideas or suggestions for
the Marine House Bar please email to me at:
amustangsandy@netzero.com. Hope to see everyone
in St. Louis.
As with any New Year everyone wants to get off on the
right foot and press forward. My hope this year is to see
more members participate in committee work or just
volunteer, “spare time.” Committee chairs and board
members can be contacted by e-mail or phone if there’s
a committee that interests you, or need more information.
As a matter of fact, we need a volunteer to step up to
the plate ASAP because after many years of service
Lance Parcell, MEGA’s WebMaster, must step down
from this position and devote more time to his wife and
family. For anyone interested in this important position,
Lance will help in the transition offering assistance as
needed. For his dedication and Marine Corps Esprit de
Corps, we owe Lance our gratitude.
Wally Calderon
Extraordinaire Marine House Bar Dude
I would also like to remind our members of the MEGA
General Membership meeting to be held during the
reunion’s official business. Members are encouraged to
submit agenda items for Board discussion. Please e-mail
or contact me, any board member or committee chair
for assistance.
2010 MEGA Ladies Lunch
Ladies, remember the couture Hat Day in San Diego?
This year we’re having a Recycle Luncheon and no,
I don’t mean recycled food. Ugh! What a thought.
On Saturday, April 24th (11:00 am - 1:00 pm), our
luncheon will include a great opportunity to reduce,
reuse or recycle something new, something old, or
something you’d love even if someone else took it
home. So, bring what you’d like and exchange it with
someone else: no rules apply.
Finally, I would like to thank Chuck Norris for his
outstanding work in getting the St. Louis reunion
organized and planned.
It has been a difficult past couple of months for most,
due to severe weather, but I look forward to better
spring weather and seeing
everyone in St. Louis.
I’m hoping the recycle theme will exceed our
last event. The event provides a wonderful
opportunity to spend time with new and old
friends, share a good story and a few laughs.
Please contact me for any questions.
Thanks - Be Safe - Zelda

Military Reunion Planners (MRP) has made arrangements
for the optional tour of Historic St. Charles and/or the
Ameristar Casino. St. Louis is appealing and easy to visit
from the hotel by MetroLink, the city’s rapid transit system.
MetroLink also runs to and from the airport. Please check
out the hotel website: www.unionstationmarriott.com for
hotel info and things to see and do in St. Louis.
MEGA REUNION 2010,
ST.LOUIS, MISSOURI
By the time this newsletter hits your mailbox, it will be
about two months until the MEGA 2010 Gateway to the
West Reunion at the Union Station Marriot in St. Louis,
Missouri.
See you in St. Louis.
By now, you should have received the Reunion Registration
Forms. It will help us in our final planning if you return that
form with your check as promptly as possible. The hotel still
has rooms available at the contracted rate of $111.00 that
includes a hot buffet breakfast each morning. That rate is
available until March 22, 2010, after which the rate returns
to the rack rate of $180.00+. Call 800-410-9914 for
reservations and request the Marine Embassy Guard
Association rate. I’ve managed to get reduced parking at
$12.00 per day and am still trying to negotiate a better rate.
The banquet dinner price for guests is $45.00 per person,
which should be sent to MRP along with your registration.
It can also be paid upon registration, but for meal planning,
we need a head count 72 hours prior to the banquet.

Committee Reports
Our efforts continue to yield outstanding results with
new members being added as a result of the MEGA
website, TWS (Together We served), e-mail, letters and
word-of-mouth. From my view, as your Membership
Chairperson, our organization is healthy and growing
and most important: we are attracting younger MSGs.
We can all agree, this is especially significant during the
current economic downturn.

organization is growing so please volunteer to help make
your association even better.
Report on the Membership Renewal Project
One of our goals was to contact all non-renewing
MEGA Members who ever belonged to our association
to see if we could “bring them back.” E-mail was sent to
every former member whose original roster information
included an e-mail address. Letters were sent to all
former members whose e-mails bounced and to former
members with no email address. Of the 476 letters
mailed only 113 were returned without a forwarding
address.
This information will save time and money in future
attempts to contact those members.

Marines Annual Dinner
Stewart Grant, Historical Committee Chair
The weather was cool and the streets crowded with
shoppers. Christmas lights and Salvation Army bell
ringers set the atmosphere for the Holidays in the City
by the Bay. Eighteen guests dined at the San Francisco
Marines Memorial’s Flying Leatherneck Room marking
the 6th consecutive year of this annual dinner. Salmon
steaks, roast chicken, prime rib, or prawns were as
popular as the cocktail hour before, after, and during
dinner. Lou and Mary Chatelle drove up from San
Diego and while there was no prize, the travel effort
was praise worthy. Marty Desmond joined former
Moscow detachment member John Ezell were with us
once again, and they in-turn brought one of their
fellow watch-standers, Peter Wyles.
The flu caught a few of our regulars off guard and had
to cancel, but we added Chuck and Maria Martinez
and Chuck and Heran Newsome to our roles. Jim and
Patricia Quinn didn’t have to fly or ride to the affair;
they walked from their San Francisco home with their
guest and former Sea Going Marine Ray Amend. Dick
and Barbara Emory were there. These two met in Hong
Kong when Barbara worked for the State Department.
MEGA’s Newsletter Printer Chuck Moseman and his
guest Vera Loskutoff were with us for their third time.
Ed and Suzanne Vasgerdsian were qua-si hosts and
everyone is looking forward to another get together
next year. Any plans on visiting SF next December,
please join us for dinner.

Marine Security Guard School Class 01-10 graduated

ten personal awards

and the Purple Heart.
The class recognized several of their own for outstanding achievements during their training cycle including
the following Marines:
Brig. Gen Draude recounted for the graduates a story
regarding the exemplary actions of the MSGs at the US
Embassy in Prague during the 1968 invasion by the
USSR where they defied the orders of the invading
Soviet Army and continued to raise and lower the US
Flag on a daily basis. This was presented as an example
of Marines doing what is right and never backing down
from doing their duty regardless of the circumstances or
danger. The General concluded his remarks by stating
MSGs are the very best of the Corps and our country
and serve as one of our country’s finest examples of
America.

Letters To the Editor
Dallas/Ft. Worth MEGA NEWS
I would like to recognize our Secretary and Treasurer,
Kevin Hermening, for the fine job he does when a
person makes a charitable contribution to the MEGA
scholarship fund. A contribution to the fund may be
made for an individual in recognition of a passing family
member or friend, or as an advanced planning tool for a
year-end or lifetime tax deduction. Kevin sends written
“thanks” to the family member. Nicely done.
Our Marine Corps Birthday celebration was held on
November 7th. Six MEGA Members and mates held
muster at 1630 hours at Joe & Susie Mitchell’s home.
Susie provided us with a great meal of melt in-your
mouth beef tenderloin, and Joe provided the beverages
of choice. Later we watched the Commandant’s
Birthday Message, toasted the Corps, and cut the cake.
The youngest Marine present was Mike Laumann and
the oldest was Ralph Caton.
Mention of Kevin’s work serves as a gentle reminder of
there being such an outlet available for MEGA scholarship funding.

Corps General, and if one General wasn’t enough
another phony General got caught trying to pull the
same crap in Ramona, CA in 2009. One clown showed
up at his high school reunion wearing Dress blues and
M/Sgt stripes with enough medals to cover his entire
chest, including the Navy Cross. At another time this
same clown was wearing a Lt/Col uniform…very sick
guy and the beat goes on.
MEGA Marine House
By Ed Vasgerdsian
MEGA Marine House is dedicated to bringing you
bits of info about the past, present and future. After
all, if there was anything happening, it happened at
the Marine House.
From Marine Corps Archives: Marine Embassy Guards
selected in the 1948-49 stages were to be single, in their
second enlistment, at least second generation Americans,
cleared by the FBI, and having good military bearing
with better-than-average intelligence. Despite earlier
memos regarding disclosure, those Marines assigned to
non-uniformed countries were issued Special Passports
with a non-military identity because the nature of their
work was considered confidential. In selecting what
Marines were to be sent to what posts, an individual’s
language capability was considered but not used as a
determining factor. Also, Marines would not be posted in
countries where they have relatives living. Havana, Cuba,
received 6 Embassy Guards in November 1948, followed
by 11 to Cairo, 41 to Jerusalem, and 20 to Seoul, Korea.
*
I spent a few days in D.C. last April doing research for
a Leatherneck story on the Office of Legislative Affairs
(OLA). A former MSG and currently a 1st Sergeant,
Bradley Simmons serves with M/Sgt William “Spanky”
Gibson as the first enlisted personnel to serve as legislative assistants to Congress. Gibson, an above the knee
amputee swam from Alcatraz Island to shore to prove
his physical ability. He then made a third tour to Iraq.
Gibson and Simmons will be rotated out by two other
enlisted Marines, one of whom is also a former MSG
and Quantico school instructor.
*
A few newsletters back I talked about B. G. Burkett
and Glenn Whitley’s book, STOLEN VALOR. I gave
the book high marks for bringing into focus a muchneeded subject: bogus medals worn by fake war heroes.
The book raised America’s conscience on the issue,
which up until then had not received much attention.
Despite the book’s publication date (1998) and wide
spread information on the subject, war phonies
continue to crawl out of the woodwork.
December 8, 2009 Sacramento Bee: “Sacramento man
admits to faking military medals.” August 10, 2005,
the Associated Press had a story about a phony Marine
The subject is taken seriously enough to have the discussion continued in an article by Russell Working in
the Nov/Dec Edition of Columbia Journalism Review
(CJR). Mr. Working poses the question, what of the
journalists who bring this subject to our (the reader’s)
attention taking a source’s claim at face value… “then
dig in and refuse to correct the record when confronted
with documentation to the contrary.”
What do we do with these fakes? How do we distinguish
between the guy wearing a chest full of undeserved
medals on a poorly fitted uniform while leading a
parade down Main Street USA with that of the real
creeps who receive money and benefits from their
phony claims? Or, is there no difference? Lest we think
these phonies are all Males, CJR indicates that journalists writing about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) and the cost of rehabilitation and assistance
discovered six women “who claimed their disorder had
been caused by being prisoners of war.” This, despite
the fact that “not a single American military women
was ever a prisoner of war.” These are the true criminals… a pox on them!
*
A guy named Van T. Barfoot who’s fighting a another
battle, of a different type than what we normally call
“battle”, and it’s with the Sussex Square Home Owners
Association in VA. Seems the association doesn’t like
Mr. Barfoot’s American flagpole. Members of his
Congressional District got involved and others joined
in on his behalf. Although there may be signs the association is backing down, not all members agree and say,
rules are rules. By the way, Mr. Barfoot is 90 years old
and the recipient of the Medal of Honor for heroism in
Europe during WW II. This is a guy who, “stood up to
three advancing Mark VI tanks and fired on one with a
bazooka, scaring the other two away.” The ranks of this
homeowners association must be filled with far too
many demented yahoos to think Mr. Barfoot is going
to back down.
