12:00 AM - 12:00 AM
While traveling on vacation, I met a Vietnam Veteran, a former Marine helicopter pilot. I asked him if he had been presented a VW 50th Anniversary Commemorative pin. He said he had not. He was unaware of the 50th program. I contacted your office to find a commemorative partner. I was given the names of two in Cody. I was only able to find a telephone number for one, the local VFZW, I called them, and they related that they did not have a VW 50th event scheduled. Your rep told me I could go ahead and present this veteran his pin since I was chairman of a VW 50th Anniv. Comm. Partner organization (Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, Orlando, Florida). I contacted the veteran, and he was thrilled to be presented his pin at my campsite which was located near his home in Cody. My wife, Anne, a veteran herself, also attended the brief ceremony. I presented him his pin and gave him a brochure about the program, stickers and buttons that you have provided me. (Yes, I carry some of them around with me for just this sort of situation) The additional supplies listed below are just to replenish ones that have been handed out and for possible future use.
