Great News:  Our $25,000 pledge has been met! Currently, the total amount pledged has reached $27,593. It has been a terrific experience for me to have worked with and encouraged the good men of Eleven to bring this to reality. I am sure all of them will enjoy this good news. It proves that MCB 11 is still alive and still getting the job done, no matter how difficult (or seemingly impossible)!
  From Tommy Hudson, Fund raiser Chairman
     
   "BRAVO ZULU" to all the members of  the GG Battalion. GG stands for Grand and Glorious and of course the number of that Battalion is 11, Eleven that is. I can well remember that day in Branson, MO when Capt. Hilderbrand made a pitch for a donation from our group and the figure mentioned was $10,000. If my memory serves me we came up with pledges for a little over $11,000 on that day. I also believed that the initial figure would grow as the word spread and you Seabees came through like like an Indianapolis Race car on a fast track. I am so proud of the donations made by all of you. I know that many of you really stretched the budget to come up with your donation but isn't that what Seabees do? Give them a job that seems to be impossible and they will complete it in record time.
   The new NMCB-11 that we will witness being recommissioned in September has a high standard to stand up to. They will have to complete the routine work by yesterday, the difficult by the end of the day and the impossible before the ink dries on the tasking order. And I bet they will do all of that because we will be there to motivate them when they "stand up."  
   Great job men of MCB-11 Reunion Group, Great job.
   From Jim Gilbert, MCB 11 Association President
