Tim Hutchison– Commandant

Hope this article finds the Marines and Asso-

ciates of the detachment well and fully engaged in 2016. We

have had a great start to 2016. The first gun show of 2016 was a

huge success, thanks to the support of all of you. I’m hoping that

each gun show is as successful as the one in January. We can al-

ways use your help at the gun shows, so when Jesus calls, please

sign up.

At this time of year, we nominate a new slate of officers for 2016-

2017. If you are interested in this process, our next meeting on

February 11 will be an opportunity for you to nominate a candi-

date of your choosing. Elections will be held in March, with in-

stallation in April. Your presence at our meetings is valuable,

since this is your detachment and your input counts. Hope to see

each of you there.

We have several members and family members who are experi-

encing sickness and health issues. Please keep them in your

thoughts and prayers. Also keep our military members, who are

in harm’s way, in your daily devotion.

If you ever need anything, feel free to contact me or one of my

staff. Marines never leave anyone behind. Or you could call to

see how things are going. That’s about it for now!! Semper Fi!!

“We must remain ready for the next fight, wherever and whenever it

is, and we must continue to uphold the legacy of those that have gone

before, and we remain Semper Fidelis,”

HIB Member Joe Lohman and family were present at the January HIB Membership meeting when HIB

presented two Merrill Lynch employees, Don Shuck– a Marine Foundation of Indiana Board Member, and

Monica Gillaspy, who coordinated the whole process, a Meritorius Service Certificate for the help they

provided to Joe and his family who suffered great losses in a recent house fire. Food, clothing and Toys for

all was provided to help them get through this difficult time.

of MBI and leave them at the offices of the Doctors, dentists and other professionals you visit in your everyday lives. Other Marines are using their

services also, and will read them. Any Questions call me– Jr. Past Commandant-Gary D. Nasby (317) 855-8798 –
