Col. Ware Tells Dilworthians about Iraq

Colonel Mark Ware is an officer who has "been there and done that.”  He has
been stationed throughout the United States and from Germany and Italy to
Japan.  For those of us who served in the past it is always welcome to hear
what is going on in our military.  Colonel Ware recently returned from a
command in Iraq and gave us amazing insight into not only how things are
working over there, but the behind-the-scenes events making a long lasting
impact on local Iraqi citizens.  It gave us a unique look  into how well our
forces are doing.

 Next Club Social Scheduled Nov. 19

The next Club Social is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19 at Cuisine
Malaya, 1411 Elizabeth Avenue.  Please let Corey Wilhelm know if you plan to
attend.
