TO MY FIRIENDS AND COTIRADES IN ARMS AT KWVA GHAPTER {58;

We were short a couple of.our regular members , Jim Bradford and Dick Champion, and of course their wives,Becky and Peg, at our April meeting, Their other event must have been really important because those two hardlyever miss a meeting. While they really were missed I think the coffee that Diik anO eeg usuatty bring may havebeen missedJust as mucfr.

The three Ambassadors for Peace Medal presentation went very welt. Over 300 guests in three locationsand three luncheon receptions for over 300. guests..HggJung co'oked over a wee[ making handmade Oumptings,Bulgogees, Korean meat.balls, egg.and tlrkey sandwiches ;nd beked Canadian Butter tirts. Stre was iufrose tobring samples to the April meeting, including the home made Ambassador for Peace medal cake decoration.However she had to fly back to Canada and thus missed the meeting. Her husbano Don was at the meeting buthe obviously forgot the food. The 41 Korean War Veterans are weariig their Ambassaaor for peace *.Oriiproudly with smiles and tears. lncidentallythe 41 Peace Medals came trom the Consulate General in Canada andnot from our local Consulate General in Aflanta, GA.

one Korean War Veteran (Rl"ft?( 9:!fg) came to the censmony in Lake Wates with his wife, Arbutus, and hewas given information to contact Patricia West, Atlantra mnsulate irmce. **lung "rait"O

patricia to look afterhim as well. A Korean War Veteran, Earl Breeze, from Chapter 158 received the-Ambassador for peaee Medalfrom those that Mr. Champion brought to the ceremony. Th6 medals and certificates ior members of 15g thathave not been awarded will be in my possession peniing a method of distribution.

Together, we helped to increase awareness of the legacy of the Korean War Veterans who contributed to Korea,sfeedom, peace and prosperity and thank you waft viry much for sending the Chapter 1sg newsletter as well.Because I know that many of you do not use the intemet here is some infonnation that you may not be aware of:
