In about 1987 we had a first ever (and only) Pearl Harbor Celebration in Indiana. We combined Det-4 and MWCS-48 and wore our Green uniforms to a Japanese Restaurant in Indiana.
The pairing of the two units was awkward. Woz, Eric Bennet, Drew Davis, and I had been members of both units. But the other Marines did not know each other and the two units had little in common. But it went pretty well.
We had not realized it was Pearl Harbor Day. The poor proprietor of the restaurant probably was frightened. He was talking fast and telling us his life story. Something about being interned in WWII. But then he realised we were friendly, unaware of the date, with no plans to avenge Pearl Harbor.
We had a fine time at the Japanese restaurant. And got pretty lubricated. There are some other stories that shall not be repeated online.
Then we went to another bar where a fashion show was underway. The bikers were buying us shots and beers. Naturally, being Marines in uniform, we had to consume it.
I personally was so drunk that as I drove home I was stopped by a train, and fell asleep, waking up after the train had gone by.
