HOT Notes:

1.  We will host a benefit on 12 May for the new Veterans Outreach Center in Cedar Rapids.  The activities include a band and raffle.  Donations are requested to help fund this center that focuses on the plight of our homeless veterans.

2.  Honor Flights will return on 24 April and 5 June.  Being at the airport around 9 to welcome these WWII vets home is as rewarding to those who do it, as it is to the veterans returning.

Brenda Long has made cartridge bags to give to the relatives of our Legion Members at a military funeral.  At our April 2012 meeting she was gracious enough to attend so we could give her a more suitable thanks for her contributions over many years of faithful service.

President Abraham Lincoln as stated in the Gettysburg Address

 "From these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the 
last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."
