Erin's presented us with a delightful return visit. Her singing evoked the joy it brought to the soldiers when away fighting for our freedom. Her stories from a musical tour of all 50 States highlighted how luck we are in North Carolina where veterans receive so much more recognition than other States, some of which do nothing for their veterans.

President Briscoe presented Surviving Spouse Director Jackie Kohler our donation to the worthy cause Triad Honor Flight.

Other awards of recognition for their efforts on behalf of the Chapter were presented to Jerry Johnson, Greg Chase and Tom Denegre.

New members Devin Dell and Robert Weiss were welcomed and Gere Carter introduced his guest, Adam Horne, with hopes of his joining shortly.

2nd VP Barry Moore delivered the Members 7 minutes speech regaling us of his times in the Philippines, bolo knives and" 52 pairs".

Past President Dennis Lennon reminded membership of its commitment to, and the importance of volunteering for the boards and committees that make our Chapter a Five Star Awardee. Incidentally, he won the 50/50 raffle.
