Thanks to our many participants, sponsors and donors, the 25th annual Leatherneck Golf tournament was a great success. Sponsors will be receiving a framed thank-you picture, and we'd like to recognize the companies and individuals that donated raffle prizes. Here's one such donor....http://www.drsjewelry.com/ #SemperFi

After growing up in Fresno, Calif., and graduating from high school, he got no college scholarship offers because he was too small. Instead, he decided to enroll in the Marine Corps reserves whereupon, in six months, he grew from 5-9, 160-pounds to 6-1, 210. Suddenly, he was a prospect, and in 1965 earned a scholarship to USC under the legendary coach Rod Dedeaux, and was 10-2 with 100 strikeouts in 100 innings. #SemperFi

Prior to the Leatherneck Open, Major Chontosh was interviewed by Mr. Lonsberry. Hear his thoughts on being decorated, on being a Veteran, on being kind and a good United States Citizen. #SemperFi

"Ferrell said he had heard plenty of recruits bragging about how good of a shot they were before his platoon’s time on the range, but he opted to remain quiet." #SemperFi
