VA. short parade in which veterans from various VSOs, including us and cadets from the Massanutten Military Academy, marched to the filled-to-capacity grandstands, where we honored the Colors. This was followed by a program with a speaker who honored all veterans of all wars, plus all our young men and women who are defending our country today. Our presence at the fair was an excellent “Tell America” opportunity, as we were able to meet and talk to many fair visitors and to tell them more about the Korean War and how our involvement in it and our support of the Korean people in the years since the signing of the cease fire has helped the Republic of Korea become the thriving and dynamic economy that its citizens enjoy today. We also had the opportunity to meet and recruit a number of Korean War and Korean Defense Veterans who are potential new members of our Chapter.
