We thank David Payne and the members of Chapter 607 for the wonderful work they did to make this convention and awards luncheon a success and memorable event!  They designed awesome patches and shirts especially for this convention.   To order shirts and patches for your chapter please contact David Payne at houseopayne111@yahoo.com or John McDowell at johntmcdowell@bellsouth.net.  If you would like to save on shipping talk to them about bringing your order to the next ASC meeting.

 We thank the chapter presidents for taking time to share with us their special members and citizens who continue to serve the Vietnam Veterans and their community.  Congratulations to all of the award recipients!
