We honored this date with the name Armistice Day and it remained so, until the 1950s. After WWII and Korea, the name was changed to Veterans Day, to honor all Veterans, of all Wars and all periods of Service. For details regarding the First World War, I have to defer those questions to Doug and Earl. To all Veterans, thanks for your service. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Thanks for the update Bob. I saw the yellow trim on the photo and thought that was how it was going to look. I like "raised". It will look great. Glad to see that the Jump wings and Pathfinder badge were swapped to opposite sides too. To Bill Miller: Great Job with the US Army Ranger Advisor Monument!! Glad to know that you got enough donations to put it together. My regards to all who attend, and my "awe" continues of the BDQ Advisors, Viet Nam. Best to you and yours. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Ross Hall Message: Rangers, as some of you know, my wife works for the local newspaper, The Dahlonega Nugget. She has long covered the Camp and USMRA events and people. A while back, Col Flohr asked through LTC Lear if it was possible to have a "Ranger Corner" or something like that in the paper. At the time the paper had just changed editors and the new guy didn't know squat about Rangers. He said no. Now he's been here a while he's rethinking that. The upshot is he may go for a military tab (like an insert)every two or three months. That would include 5th RTB, USMRA, VFW, even the Vets Affairs Committee. It would be news, events, photos. USMRA could publish a calendar, or it could report on events after the fact--like the critter cookout, so we don't advertise it ahead of time.We could promote scholarships,coins, etc. I do not work for the paper, but I can help pull it all together for Sharon, get it written up, etc. What do you guys think? Do we want our information out there? |
