Program: Veterans' Day Lunch Meeting 11/9/01

 

 

Our speakers, in order, will be: 

bullet

Mike Nichols, representing the Army.

bullet

Allen Young - -  Navy

bullet

Stan Johnson - - Air Force

bullet

Herb Roney - - Marine Corps

 

Mike and Allen were in the Vietnam War; Stan WW2, and Herb and Jack Siegal, our chair, were in Korea. 

As in the past, we will NOT be having a mini series of Craft Talks.  Our speakers will tell how and why they entered the service, and where they served, along with any special highlights, BUT the emphasis will be on what they learned while in the service – about themselves and others – and how it changed them and their lives.  As an example, Jack learned quickly in Korea that the other fellow’s race, religion and ethnic and economic background didn’t matter; what was important was whether you could count on that person when the chips were down. Herb Roney really moved the audience when he spoke on Veterans Day several years ago.  I’m sure Mike, Allen and Stan will do likewise . 

If President Hal will be able to start the Program 10 minutes early, each of our speakers will have 9 minutes, and we’ll have a few minutes at the end for any questions.

Don't miss this program, this is an example of Rotary members at their finest!

If you have any questions now, just give any of our speakers a call.
