Mormon Battalion

Recorded April 24, 2022

On January 29 it was 175 years to the day that the Mormon Battalion reached San Diego. To celebrate the occasion the Mormon Battalion visitor’s center had a big celebration in Old Town.

Our good friends Randy and Kathy Madsen used to live here and they came for the occasion. They always get into these fairs. They had a big parade and Randy was one of the color guard.

They also had a show with a special choir. If you look at the picture Craig McPhie is in the choir on the front row farthest to the right.

They even sent an apostle to represent the church.

They finished up with some cultural dancing which was pretty cool.
