                                                                                 Warner USN and Clyde Needham USAF. During that meeting they
         For only the second time in almost five years our speaker for our       received The Ambassador of the Republic of Korea’s Peace Medal
         monthly meeting called to say he would be unable to attend our          which was mentioned in the last months Courier. The citation reads; “In
         meeting.  In the case of our September meeting our speaker, Tom         Honor of your military service and personal sacrifice during the Korean
         Hudson, came down with Covid 19 and thought it best that he stay
         home.  We agreed and wished him a speedy recovery, which he did have,
         by the way.  He was seen at a meeting six days later and he was his old
         chipper self.
         With less than a four hour notice, Nicole Young agreed to fill-in for Tom
         and be our speaker September 5th at the Retreat.  Nicole is a member of
         Moms for Liberty, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization dedicated to
         fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating and
         empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of
         government.
         We appreciated Nicole coming to our rescue at such short notice and
         thank her for her interesting and informative presentation.
