Sending out a big hello from Michigan.

Hello everyone.

I found this link thanks to my Dad. He suggetsed I drop a line to introduce myself. So here it is. I am a proud family man/father, ScotAmerican and second generation Firefighter. I am originally from Southwestern Missouri and currently reside in Southwestern Michigan. Prior to becoming a fulltime firefighter I served our nation in the USCG.

I am currently looking to link up with any like minded people, in or around my area who are proud of their heritage! I am possibly interested in joing a local society or group, so any information in that regard would be greatly appreciated. Also I am in the market for a inexpesive Robertson red kilt. In the meantime please excuse my spelling and gramar

like I said I am a fireman and from the ozarks

(j/k Dad).

I can't wait to learn all I possibly can from each member of this forum.

Welcome to the forum from Virginia (by way of Joplin, MO). I'm currently an Army NCO stationed in Virginia. As far as organizations, you might try SAMS. (Scottish American Military Society) This organization is made up of veterans and current military members. Try this link. http://www.s-a-m-s.org/

WELCOME from the other side of the state...Flint, Michigan!

If you are in the Kalamazoo area, they have a pipe and drum band, a summer Scottish Festival, AND the Sisters of St. Joseph (the Sisters of St. Joseph are not particularly Scottish, but I'm one and we are from Kalamazoo/Nazareth, so I HAD to throw that in!)!
