Chapter News 2 NORTHWEST ALABAMA [AL] The Chapter sponsored an exhibit at the recent North Alabama State Fair. For the sixth year, we were in the top four exhibits. Our 60mm mortar crew exhibit won for originality and realism. Chapter members were on hand to distribute literature and answer questions.
