Our State Leadership and Convention Chair had an early wake-up call for a live appearance on WNBF Radio’s First News Morning Show.  Host Roger Neel is at the controls with his back to the camera.  From left to right: Commander Don Doell, Past State Commander and Convention Chair Al Klein and seated, State Auxiliary President Martha Ferens.   Commander Don and President Martha appeared later on WBNG-TV’s Action News “Around the Tiers” segment with noon anchor Kerri O’Hara.

Our publicity chair, Dorolyn Perry, has been working with Boscov’s and local veterans on this for the better part of a month.  Boscov’s display department outdid themselves, and we thought you’d like to see a snapshot of the results.  It is more impressive when you see it live.  But if you can’t, then enjoy the view.  By the way,  the Binghamton,  NY Press and Sun-Bulletin featured our publicity chair in a piece by Valerie Zehl in the June 14, 2007 edition.  (kind of appropriate for Flag Day, No?)

Pvt. Gerald Beach of Camden St. Johnson City, N.Y.   was the first of Johnson City’s 103 WWII dead.  Pvt. Beach was returned nearly three years to the day after he gave his life for his country in Germany.

There are more mementos to see in the display in Boscov’s Water Street window.  We hope visitors will stop by the display and take a moment to remember “The Greatest Generation”.
