San Clemente Welcomes Deployed Marines Home on Flag Day 2012

On Thursday, June 14, 2012 in honor of Flag Day this year and as part of a long standing tradition, the City of San Clemente, in collaboration with the 2/4 Association and the Heritage of San Clemente, hosted the, first of its kind, parade and memorial for the latest troop of the Second Batalion Fourth Marines that have returned home.  The troops came back earlier in March after a seven month deployment in Afghanistan.  Some of the Marines coming back have served more than one tour.
