So my camera did not work at the Marine Corps Ball at all. Dead battery. Wah! I have pieced together a few cell phone pictures from others, though the lighting and quality is not the best. And Im throwing in one of Rusty and his brother-in-law at Aarons wedding just because they are so handsome in their dress blues, and I did not get one of Rusty at the Ball with his cover on (or wielding his sword...wah again!). At least I did get a small snippet of video when they wheeled out the massive Marine Corps birthday cake and the commander cut it with his sword as Rusty and some of his men stood at attention as escorts. It was such a grand experience! We had an amazing time. Mike took a box of good cigars and enjoyed one outside midway through the Ball with our friend Jeff, Rusty, Bob, and some of Rustys Marines. It was very cool seeing Rusty interact as Sergeant with the Marines under his command. A whole different world and not the way Im used to seeing him. Gave me goosebumps! Many of them came to our table to have their picture taken with their Sergeant and they were everyone of them so courteous and gracious to me and Mike, and all whats up bro? with Bobby. LOL. We had an amazing evening and it was SUCH an honor to be there.
