Col. Larry D. Nicholson thanks Staff Sgt. Michael J. Maschmeier for his performance on ukulele for the Regimental Combat Team 5 staff. Staff Sgt. Michael J. Maschmeier gets into the groove of the tunes he's strumming on his ukulele. Fifteen ukuleles were donated to Col. Larry D. Nicholson, RCT-5's commanding officer by 'Ukes for Troops.' Nicholson passed them to Marines from 1st Marine Division Band, assinged to the Regiment's Headquarters Company. The ensemble played tunes including 1st Marine Division's song 'Waltzing Matilda' and 'Marines' Hymn.'
