All U.S. Embassies across the world are guarded by a Marine contingent, and each November, on the anniversary of the Marine's birthday, a ball is held to celebrate and remember the hard work and sacrifice of the corp in their unwaivering protection of the members of the Embassy families. This was my first Marine Ball and it was a fabulous evening full of wonderful people, handsome soldiers, beautiful fashion, delicious cake, lots of wine and dancing until you drop. I brought the bagpiper.
