the third annual Thanksgiving program sponsored by the<br />
Hansung Church of Cresskill, NJ. The NJ Chorwon and Taejon<br />
Chapters also participated in the program.<br />
M*A*S*H members Al Gonzales, Joe Poggi, and Faust<br />
Faustini painted the front of the church for the ceremonies<br />
Chorwon and Taejon also donated money to help with the painting<br />
of the steeple and cross atop the church. It was too high for<br />
us to climb.<br />
M*A*S*H members also attended the Atlantic City ceremonies<br />
for our fallen comrades after our summer recess, We once<br />
again returned to the Teaneck Armory, home of the 250th<br />
Brigade, to give another $500 to the families of our service men<br />
and women in Iraq. Our Chapter received a certificate of appreciation<br />
for our effort to our service men.<br />
We will conclude our year with our annual holiday party—and<br />
Thank God we are still able to help our fellow veterans<br />
