On August 21, 2015
Chapter 189 on the Korean War Veterans
Association will hold their monthly meeting at
the John Mealy Memorial VFW Post in Port Orange,
Florida.
Members arriving for lunch
can arrive at 12:00 and choose their meal from
the VFW
Bar Menu, and socialize during the meal.
The regular KWVA Business Meeting will begin at
1:00 PM
This
month our guest speaker will be Bob Hawes, the
Treasurer for KWVA Chapter 189. The subject of
the program will be a presentation of the currency
and banknotes of World War II. Our speaker has
been a collector of currency and banknotes for over
50 years and has put together an amazing collection,
encompassing hundreds of bank notes issued by dozens
of contries engaged in the World War II hostilities.
He will present some stories of how the world
handled money during those trying times. This
should make for a very interesting program.

During the past several
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. We are in the process of preparing a
short brochuer on the history and impact of the
Korean War. If you know of any organization that
might be interested in such a document please
contact Bob McGuire at 386.323.6401. We would like
to spread the story of the Korean Conflict for all
those who may never have heard of it, or its
impact on our current global condition.
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
think 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.
