Two special visitors drove in to pay a little visit to our Young Marines, the National Director Mr. Kessler and the National HQ's Training Director Mr. Adams. The pair drove down from Fresno from a California Regimental meeting. Mr. Kessler and Mr. Adams spent four hours with the Temecula Young Marines asking questions and enjoying conversations with the Young Marines
