months the Chapter has been presenting the "Tell
America" Program to a number of organizations. If
you know an organization that might want to learn
about the history of the Korean War please contact
Bob McGuire at we would be pleased to set up a
presentation.
In
recent days we have become aware that their are
Veterans in our community that have recently died
and have not been provided with an opportunity to
receive a military ceremony in their memory.
Chapter 189 of the KWVA does not that
this is proper, and have decided to present
a small final military ceremony for any Veteran that
requests it. If you know
of a Veteran that needs a final military ceremony
please contact Bob McGuire at 386.323.6401 and we
will attempt to get that request fulfilled.
