Commandant's Mid-Term Message

Semper Fi Brother and Sister Marines,


As the LCpl. Christopher Adlesperger, Detachment 1316 reaches our mid-term mark for 2022, we are seeing life as we knew it resurrect before our eyes.  This year we have emerged from the worst pandemic and lock-down since the Spanish Flu.  We are all anxious to get back to normalcy in our daily lives and the Detachment is quickly moving towards that goal.


So far this year we have planned, funded and fully orchestrated the Department of New Mexico and Rocky Mountain Division Convention in April.  Again, this year we took the lead role in planning and orchestrating Rio Rancho's Memorial Day Program on May 30th.  We are in the process of outfitting the Detachment Color Guard and Honor Guard Detail.  If you would like to join, please let myself or any of our Board of Trustees know.  We are currently seeking a Color Guard Commander and we want you!


Our Jr. Vice Commandant has set up the Transportation Committee to assist members wanting to come to meetings and events, but need transportation.  Semper Fi, Marine Crawford!  Our Marine Corps Ball Committee is actively carving our 247th Marine Corps Ball.  It will be held at Embassy Suites Hotel and Convention Center on November 5th, 2022.  This event will be our best ever.  I know all who attend will enjoy themselves.  You can purchase tickets online through our website and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/OfficialMCL1316)  If you can assist in the organization and planning, please contact Marine Crawford or Marine Pugh as they direct this event.  We also are holding a fundraiser with proceeds going to support our Marine Corps Ball at Kelly Jo Designs by Wine later this month (July 20th, 2022).  


We will also begin selling tickets for our 3rd Annual Roll Over Raffle tickets in August.  This fundraiser has had proven success and supports many organizations each quarter.  Wat your mail for tickets for you to sell.  Our goal this year will be 300 tickets sold!  Each of you can help make this major fundraiser a success.  


We have added several new members to our Detachment, all of whom have taken active roles in the Detachment.  We saw Adrian Glass rise to the Senior Vice Commandant's role when Dave Clark had to vacate his role unexpectedly.  We still need each of you to recruit new members to keep our Detachment fresh and viable.  Alas, we also lost one member last March, Gerald Maytea, who received his Final Salute at Santa Fe National Cemetery on April 29th, 2022.


While health and family issues continue to plague a few of our members, we welcomed a "new recruit" to our extended family with the birth of Tony Derieux's son, Logan, on June 21st, 2022.  Regrettably, Marine Derieux has received transfer orders to Tampa, Florida.  Tony and family will be leaving the high desert of New Mexico and embracing Tampa Bay off the Gulf of Mexico.  His dedication and vitality will be missed.  Additionally, our Jr. Vice Commandant, Bob Crawford, has vacated his post due to unavoidable circumstances.  Bob will be missed from this post, but remains a strong member of the Detachment.  This position needs to be filled as well, soon!


Our Detachment has been here to lend assistance, to comfort, to celebrate, give support and render condolences, as our mission statement describes.  We are The Few and The Proud.  We are Marines!


Semper Fi,

Michael J. Haas
