From the Prez Art Ward

 by Donna Fuller on 03/29/19

In answer to the recent posting of continuing 
our discussion regarding a potential "Sunset Date" 
of 2/3/3, I, personally, feelthat the timing of this 
consideration is premature but if it comes to a vote,
 we must initiate any and all venues for the most
 amount of our membership to participate in the 
"voting process." 
This process should include voting at our annual
 meeting, e-mail, snail mail, 
on-line and any other means sanctioned by our 
membership. 
This will be a major consideration which everyone 
should have the opportunity to be a part of deciding.

From Mick Hughes End of 2/3 ?

 by Donna Fuller on 03/28/19


Good morning Marines,  The attached link to a two page letter is good to open.  It's interesting in light of the discussion we had last September.
The subject of establishing a "sunset date" for our 2/3 Vietnam Veterans Association was brought up at our Membership Meeting at the 22nd Annual Reunion in Colorado.  After thinking on this since September 2018, the Membership in September 2019 will have an opportunity to decide if the Association will have a "sunset date".  The Membership should then decide what that date will be.  
Personally, if a sunset date is established by the Membership at the 23rd Annual Reunion in Maine, I don't think it would be difficult for the Membership to change that date at any future Membership Meeting beyond 2019.  Just my thought.
I hope this note finds all of you thriving!  And looking forward to Portland, September 2019!
Feel free to circulate this e mail to our 2/3 VVA Membership.
Semper Fidelis.  Mick

On March 29, 2019, National Vietnam War Veterans Day honors the approximately 9 million veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces  during the Vietnam War.  The "day" was signed into law by President Trump on March 28, 2017.  Semper Fidelis.

From Vicki OHANESIAN

To our "other" family: The Ohanesians want you all to know that

 Mom will be interred with Dad on May 30, 2019 at a graveside service, Arlington National Cemetery - 3:00 (or 1500 hrs). We are only notifying the 2/3 as this is a "family affair" and we consider you "our" family. We would love to have you but clearly understand it may be too difficult for you - if you come, 
you will be welcomed with a hug and a warm smile of appreciation. We will follow the service with a toast to both Mom and Dad at the Old Guard Bar. Beer was Dad's drink of choice! Please know we know very well, the Memorial Day week is a tough time to visit the DC area and we will know that 
you are with us in spirit! If you want any other details or
 decide you will be there, please call me directly 
(or text or email me) With warm regards to all..........
