Meeting News

 

 

It was another good Alpha weather day. The light sprinkles did not come until most of us were in our cars and going home. After being snowed out of our first scheduled meeting at Dimitri’s, we finally had a meeting there and we were greeted by popcorn baseballs from Emma. The balls hit the bull’s eye.

 

With Angelo’s coaching, Mary very nicely presented grace and mentioned our deceased club members. Ralph did not miss Emma’s trip around the table because Jim and he were busy talking. At the end of the table Olga Kosko and Helen Andrus were getting Walt set to take some group pictures and you can see that Walt did a good job. I know that you all would want to see this picture and so it is enclosed in the newsletter. .   (Click here for more)

What is a Veteran?

 

What is a veteran?

 

Just look around.

Right where you’re standing,

He fought for that ground.

A vet is a person who answered the call,

who went into war, and gave it his all.

 

He defined a way of life that we all love,

but much preferred peace, like the way of a dove.

He asked not the reason, as he stood in the trench.

He faltered not once in the muck and the stench.

 

As soldiers in legions, they stood side by side.

They knew some would fall, as many more died.

They whispered their prayers in a helmet of sweat.

Shells bursting above wouldn’t let them forget.

 

Tears in their eyes as their friends lay so still.

One hour ago, he was king of the hill.

Many more wounded, spilling of life.

When will it end, the battle of strife?

 

For many the battles never will end,

Now they are civilians, and find they can’t blend.

Some are disabled, and some are disturbed.

After coming home from hell, They find they’ve been curbed.

A veteran is special, to be not denied

He put it up front, he need never hide.

 

Now is the time to honor our vets.

Remember their pain, don’t ever forget.

Remember them now, and give them their due.

Stand by their side, ‘cause they did it for you.
