Sgt. John Cullen, USMC (retired) gave an exciting presetation on Military History. He began with a short biography of his military career and told some engaging stories. John described his passion for military history and gave a presentation on the history of the conflict in the Middle East, beginning with the story of Abraham from the Old Testament. Some of the audience members chimed in on occasion, filling in some blanks and challenging certain statements. A lively discussion ensued, including an emotional viewpoint from Khalil, who is of Palestinian descent and was born and raised in the Middle East. Afterwards, Mike Palumbo gave a brief talk on his experience in the Navy, serving on board the U.S.S. Stark. He brought some memoribilia and told some entertaining stories. This was probably the most well attended barn night to date, with over 35 men, some of them staying until 3am.

Barn Night Details
Barn Nights take place monthly, always on a Friday. The barn is located behind the house at 41 Deerfield. The doors open at 8pm, so feel free to come by, grab a beer and a slice of pizza, and socialize. The presentations start at 9pm and go for about an hour. Afterwards you can hang out and jam with or listen to the Barn Band. For the die hards there’s usually a “wrap up” at around midnight where we share our thoughts on the presentation and get into deep, controversial discussions. There’s a contribution box for you to drop in a minimum of $20 to help offset the cost of the event.
