As many of you are aware, Wesley Prater age 90 passed away Monday April 7th. Wes was the key factor in allowing the Memorial Committee and Chaper to build our Memorial on the Ypsilanti Township property. Click here to view his obituary.
There continues to be a lot of activity on the Memorial’s grounds. We finally got the firewood shredded and moved to the West side of the berm, as ground cover. The grounds were a bit damp and we did manage to get the Bobcat stuck, twice. The first time Jon was able to get it moving but the second time required some assistance from Ypsi Twp.
The VA hosted an event honoring Vietnam Veterans on Vietnam Veterans Day in the hospital’s lobby. There was a nice display about the War as well as my trifold display of our Memorial. Brg. General Fausone (Ret) pinned Vietnam Veterans with the 50th Anniversary Pin. On March 8th I attended the Michigan State Council meeting in Howell along with Jon Luker, Sandie Wilson. Minutes from that meeting will be posted as soon as I receive them from Gary Estermyer. WCCV March 13th meeting was cancelled due to a scheduling conflict. Merchandise sales at the VA was per Stan, the worst he seen. But we did have a nice donation from a member, which did hep. Below are the sizes and number of chapter jackets we have in stock. The price is $105.00 without your name or $110.00 with your name. M - 1 XL - 2 2XL - 3 3XL – 1 I would like us to give some thought to working in concert with VFW and American Legion to start an annual turkey or ham donations around Thanksgiving and Christmas? We can can consider a press release of some nature to announce the program. Something of this nature would be great publicity and maybe increase our respective memberships. Email (
