Pete’s Memorial Service/Repass
The closing remarks by Gunny Monico finished off the presentations.
The remarks were about the attire that he was wearing. The attire was
utilities from Bruce Jenner who was a Slattery member until his demise
in 2010 and a good friend of Petes and also a Korean War veteran.
Gunny had gotten them from Bruce and promised Bruce he would wear them
at his funeral. Pete liked the idea and made Gunny swear to the same
promise. So “The Gunster” was up there with the herring bone faded
utilities (after all they were 65+ years old), combat boots with laced
up leggings, a steel camouflaged helmet and an M1 rifle telling the
story. He then announced, “The chowline is open.”
