April News for the Ohio Chapter
The last 7 days have been busy, but very inspiring. Thursday the 6th we had a flag presentation. Friday the 7th, we had a flag presentation in Dayton. Saturday the 8th we joined hundreds of friends and family at the Let Us Never Forget Scholarship Dinner. Had a great meeting today with John Prazynski. Tonight, we ordered 4 flags, and will order one more as soon as the phone rings with some much needed info.
The Music Festival is going full speed ahead as you can see by the posts thanking sponsors. We ALWAYS need more sponsors. We put the festival on every year so that our families can come together and visit, but it would be wonderful to use it as a fundraiser for more personalized flags.
We’ve been invited to attend the Patriot Freedom Festival in Dayton this year that is held each year over the Memorial Day Weekend.
I have also been working on a project for our national organization finding some of the first flag requesters in our organizations history, and we are in the planning stages for some very special long distance flag presentations.

2013 Year of the Vietnam Gold Star Family
Along with our normal request and presentation activities, we are going to make 2013 the “Year of the Vietnam Gold Star Family”. Why? because most surviving parents are in their late 80’s and 90’s now, and spouses are in their 60’s and 70’s. Time is running out to show them that we DO care, and that we DO Honor and Remember their Loved Ones, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten. If you know a family in your area, please contact us at ohchapter@honorandremember.org We also need donations to sponsor these flags. George Lutz has a flag he ordered for a Korean Era Gold Star Mother. In the weeks it took for it to get made, that Gold Star Mother passed away. The key to the success of this effort is having the money immediately available to order flags as soon as a Mother/Father/Spouse is identified.

1st Annual Concert now “in the books”.
Still tired and sore from the concert on Saturday. What a great day. Thanks to the sponsors, the volunteers, and the patrons for coming out. Of course, I want to thank all of our Heroes that provided the freedom to allow this day to happen. It will be several days until the dust settles, but I need to have the event application in, in the next 18 days for next years concert.
