At our business meeting the group voted to come back to
Murfreesboro next year. The dates are July 29‑Aug 1, 2010. Janice
Bellamy and Dianne Kelton agreed to help organize for another year.
Fifty-two people attended the dinner - and everything
went well. Dinner was provided by Lamb's Catering Service. The cost was
$10.00 per person. The country cooking was great!
Singer, Robin Gwaro, sang “Go Rest High on That
Mountain” by Vince Gill dedicated to the veterans that lost their
lives in combat along with the ones that have died since.
We played the DVD "Before you Go” (http://www.beforeyougo.us/play_byg)
dedicated to thanking World War II veterans for their service. Plaques
of Appreciation were presented to the veterans and their family members.
Robin Gwaro then sang about a mother who wrote to her son
every day telling him to come home even though he was missing in
action. Two years later a car drove up and in it was her son. Mom met
him and asked him what he was doing. He stated he was doing what she had
wrote and told him to do, come home. Robin then sang "Born in the
USA" to perk us all back up again.
News of the reunion made the Murfreesboro Daily News
Journal’s front page. We also had an article in The Reader.
It was a surprise. While we were visiting our museum here, the people
came in, took photographs and wrote a short story.
