Marine Corps League Det. 1404 Member Tom Bazemore recently gifted four different exclusive color landscape prints of Ft. Benning to USA Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Herbert Hollingsworth, honoring Hollingsworth for his 24 years of exemplary military service.
Fort Benning, GA holds special memories for Hollingsworth, who spent much of his stateside active duty there. The gift was presented by Bazemore on behalf of the N.E. Alabama Marine Corps League in Fort Payne, AL.
Hollingsworth and Bazemore are fellow associate members of N.E. AL MCL Detachment 1404.
This Wednesday, April 28, 2021, is âHerbert Hollingsworth Dayâ, so-declared by 2016 proclamation of Fort Payne Mayor Larry Chesser.
âTwas the season for the 2020 Marine Toys for Tots drive. Thank you to our local merchants and public servants for hosting collection boxes for the drive in your stores/facilities.
As noted by Toys for Tots Chairman Dave Nelson, âwe had another successful drive thanks to all of you and the number of toys collected from last year increased once again. Many thanks to the merchants and you, the community members, for generously and lovingly donating toys and stuffed animals.â The toys you donated for the Toys for Tots drive have already been handed out to many families in need in Fountain Hills.
