This

from the Volusia County Veterans
Administration. The subject of the program
will be a discussion on this years "Veterans
Stand down". For the last several years the
Volusia County Veterans Administration together with
an number of civil and veterans organization have
been conducting an event to help homeless and
veterans in crisis. The Stand down provides legal,
medical and material help as needed to our local
veterans. KWVA Chapter 189 has participated in the
past and we hope after Roger's talk we can organize
a group to support this effort this year. This
should make for a very interesting program, come and
join us for a nice meal and some good
fellowship. (See KWVA

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 receiving 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.
