The Gold Star Mother

PERPETUATING THE NOBLE PRINCIPLES FOR WHICH THEY FOUGHT AND DIED

September · October · Issue Number 124    2128 Leroy Place, NW, Washington, DC20008

From the Desk of the National President, Betty Pulliam, 󞪆-2006]

 Have you ever been in a whirlwind courtship? Well I became President on July 11th, and it seems like it's been that way ever since, or would you call it a Kansas Tornado?

 When I arrive home from the convention, I was met at the airport by a group of Vietnam Veterans and VFW Auxiliary Ladies with a bouquet of roses, which was an unexpected and lovely gesture.

 I was in Washington D.C. for two weeks in July. On the 19th I attended the ceremony to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. It was held in the Rotundra of the capital of the United States.

 I came home to attend a family reunion. On the 5th of August I did a Patriot Guard Duty at a Veterans funeral. On the 13th I attended a Patriot Guard Memorial Dedication, honoring parents of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Love, Peace & Unity, Betty Jean
