A D.J. provided dancing to music from the “Big Band” era.<br />
All in all, the evening was very enjoyable, filled with the sharing<br />
of comradeship and the joy of the holidays.<br />
During the evening Commander Falato informed the members<br />
that a new editor has been found for our monthly newsletter,<br />
“The Taejon Post.” Camille Georgison, the wife of our<br />
Adjutant, has accepted the position. She will be replacing<br />
Morton Rushfield, who was the editor for twelve years.<br />
Morton is recuperating from an operation. He has done a fantastic<br />
job as editor of “The Taejon Post,” and we offer our thanks<br />
and prayers to him for a quick recovery and return to our chapter’s<br />
activities.<br />

In November the chapter joined in, and was honored by, the<br />
Southwest Louisiana Armed Forces Appreciation Day. Also in<br />
November, Chapter 180 and Purple Heart Chapter 727 combined<br />
to present certificates to Mr. “Buster” Beverly, an over-the-road<br />
trucker who has mobilized national appreciation and provided<br />
recognition for America’s veterans.<br />
We added ten new members this year as our chapter continues<br />
to uphold and support the US-KOREA Alliance and today’s<br />
armed forces<br />
