October 2015 Meeting Reminder

The next Seattle Base meeting is this coming Wednesday, October 21. We will meet at VFW Post #2995 (4330 148th Ave N.E., Redmond WA 98052). Social hour starts at 6PM with business meeting at 7PM.

We will start with our usual business meeting, where we will cover the upcoming events for the rest of the year, along with some other subjects.

For the November program, our speaker will be Kerry Ryan, one of our Base associates. Kerry served with distinction as a Senior Airman in the USAF serving as a “Ceremonial Guardsman” from 1962 -1966.

Kerry’s duty station was Bolling Air Force Base Washington DC. His primary duty was to serve in an elite and exclusive team with high visibility. He supported and engaged in the sacred and solemn burial services at Arlington National Cemetery.

Kerry’s team participated at various national sites and monuments like major White House events, the Pentagon, and the Lincoln Memorial to name a few. His team often met and escorted arriving diplomats, religious leaders like Pope Pius VI, and provided security escort services to notable world leaders.

Kerry has developed a power point presentation with YouTube videos and will elaborate on his remarkable experiences in an exclusive arm of the US Air Force. Don’t miss this meeting! We know you will appreciate the services the US Air Force Ceremonial Honor Guard provides for major high visibility national events.

We hope to see you on Wednesday!
