Hello again from sunny, hot and humid
Virginia. What is going on with the
weather?
I thought since it was so hot outside I would
come in to the cool of my house and
prepare another newsletter. I don't have a
lot to write about this time, but there are a
couple of subjects I thought I would cover
so you could spend some time indoors and
cool off.
FRENCH LEGION OF HONOR:
If you think you are eligible for this award I
would suggest you begin your submission
process now while you are still breathing.
Once you are gone the French
Government will not accept applications for
this award.
Go to the following address for details for
making your application and determining if
you are eligible.
French Legion of Honor:
Should you need assistance in obtaining
necessary documentation to make your
application you can contact me at
joyclint@comcast.net
FINAL DAYS OF THE 63RD INFANTRY
DIVISION ASSOCIATION.
I still have not received confirmation of the
final days of the 63rd Infantry Division
Association. I will let you know as soon as I
am able to get some information about the
final closure.
PHOTOS AND IMAGES OF 63D
INFANTRY DIVISION PERSONNEL.
I am still accepting photos and images
relating to the 63rd Infantry Division for
posting on the web site and inclusion in the
historical files of the division.
You can send them to me, Fred Clinton
102 S. Jenkins Street, Alexandria, VA
22304 and after processing I will return
them to you OR you can send the images
along with captions to me via email to
joyclint@comcast.net.
It is never too late to send them in but if
you don't more than likely they will be lost
in the shuffle and not be saved for others
to view and enjoy.
