The Marine Ball

We were graciously invited to attend The Marine Ball with our neighbors, Duncan and Natasha Lingle.  Duncan works with The American Embassy and the Gorvernment,  his connection to the ball.
We were thrilled for the opportunity.  It was a great evening, honoring The Marines and all that they do to protect our country.  A video was presented explaining the history of The Marines.  There was also a very impressive ceremony by The Marines in full uniform, Salutes, and even Birthday Cake, in celebration of their Birthday.  We also heard speeches from top Commanders as well as the Head of the US Embassy.
It was also a fun excuse to get dressed up, enjoy cocktails, dinner and dancing with some great friends.
And also to pay tribute to our country and all of the men and women who fight for us.  It makes you even more patriotic when you live in a foreign country.  God Bless the USA.
