Finally got the photos from the American Legion Medal of Honor Recipient's Ball up on photobucket...

Posted Image

We did not get to see Obama so to speak, but we did see his motorcade pull up just as we left the ball... We had to run to Union station and catch our train since both William and I had a full day ahead of us... But we had a great time and had the opportunity to meet several really amazing people...


Barney Barnum, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy, me and hubby...

James Laskey, National Commandant of the Marine Corps League...

Hubby with astronaut Buzz Aldrin (second man to walk on the moon right behind Niel Armstrong)...

Any CSI fans here? Marg Helgenberger was very gracious and posed for a photo with us...

If you don't mind me asking how does a "common person" get invited to one of these or do you have to buy tickets?

I agree your dress is pretty! What military branch does you husband belong to?

This particular Ball was invitation only... but the other sanctioned balls that the President attends are ticketed events.

Hubby is a Major in the Marine Corps :)

Thanks guys :) We really did have a good time... once we got there... We had to take the Metro in the extreme cold and walk about two and a half blocks... and guess who didn't have a coat (a shawl... but no coat... did a finger and toe count just to make sure they are all still here)... thought we would have been able to get closer to the hotel... military barricades would let us through but some of the police blocks wouldn't...

I borrowed the dress from a friend... She wore it to the Marine Corps Ball last November and I immediately asked her if I could borrow it for this event.
