"NEW YORK -- A contingent of more than 300 active and reserve Marines, Marine Corps League members and Leatherneck Pipes & Drums members from the New York area marched in the streets of Manhattan as part of the 250th St. Patrick's Day Parade here, March 17. The Marines marched more than 30 blocks up Fifth Avenue to a shouting and cheering throng of New Yorkers decked out in green for the festivities.
