From all across the land they come, with just one thought in mind; "Tis thirty years ago or more they stood on foreign soil,
They are people, friends and brothers of many different kinds;
Their friendship forged in danger and tempered by fire,
They bow their heads in tribute to those not here today-
Their ranks are growing thinner now,, the passing years will tell;
And so they meet, embrace and talk, and remember days of yore;
This may be their last reunion, for some the last good-bye;

Your Dues Donation ($25 on a yearly basis) will allow us to continue to meet communicate and etc. Won't you do your part? See the Membership Form in this newsletter or send to: Clyde Larsen 353 Dartmouth Dr Elin IL 60123 **As many of you know, we have always struggled with the fact that a large majority of our members rarely achieve or have never achieved 'Member in Good Standing' status - Dues Donation received. As the number of DQS Vets on our Roster/Mailing List grows at a rate disportionately higher than the number of 'Members in Good Standing' the burden on the few (10 - 15 % the past few years) becomes more and more oppressive, unbearable, stifling. Step up and support your organization! Don't let the backbone of our group be crushed! | |||||||||
