Commander's Comments (cont. from page 1)

​

of our Chapter. The job is not difficult when you have enough helping hands.

Caution - Important - Our chapter is looked upon as an important Chapter when scheduling affairs related to the Korean War. They know they can depend on us for our support. They look upon us as the first Chapter to contact when making their plans. For this reason, the Embassy has been very gracious in providing us with free transportation to and from their functions held in Washington, DC. This expense is acceptable to them as long as we have sufficient numbers of participants. Let each one of us make every effort to be involved in these events when called upon.

   It goes without saying that the south Koreans Em-

bassy has gone out of it's way to honor us and treat us with respect. Let us show our gratitude that we care by showing our pride and respect for our service.
