Sam Johnson Chapter 270 Recognizes 2008 Membership
Drive Winners
Our chapter knows how to build membership while following
KWVA bylaws. In fact, 100% of our members are also KWVA
Members
During its March 14 chapter meeting, the chapter recognized its
members who had sponsored thirteen (13) new KWVA members in
2008. Chapter members who sponsored new KWVA members in
2008 were Doyle Dykes (6), Tilford Jones (2), Billy Joe Denton (1),
Bill Lovas (1), Harvey Heilman (1), Tae Hui Lee (1), and Mary
Marks (1). Doyle Dykes has led the chapter in recruiting new
KWVA members for 6 consecutive years.

New members sponsored by Doyle Dykes were LeRoy Duncan,
Jackie Feagin, William F. Krutz, Frank Logan, Grover Meeks, and
Paul Parker. Tilford Jones sponsored Ernest Randall and Herbert
Yuttal.
Billy Joe Denton recruited George Cullum. Bill Lovas sponsored
Jeff Harlan. Harvey Heilman recruited Wallace Humphries. Tae Hui
Lee signed up Charles Lee. Mary Marks sponsored Lois Shockey.
Because Doyle Dykes and other chapter members actively seek
out new KWVA members, Chapter 270 now has more active KWVA
members than any other chapter south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
312 – ANTIETAM [MD])
Put Your Korean War Service on Display
Antietam Chapter #312 has developed a fundraising program
featuring the sale of a commemorative wooden mantle display (see
nearby photo). This display item makes a great souvenir for Chapter
members and has provided additional funds to the Chapter treasury.
To date, Antietam Chapter #312 has sold these mantle displays to
approximately half its members.
The Chapter will use a generic version of the mantle display
(with “America’s Forgotten War” on the face, instead of the Chapter
name) to sell at public events where the Chapter will sponsor an
information booth. This attractive display is 4 inches wide by 5-1/2
inches high, and will be a welcomed addition to any veteran’s desk,
trophy shelf, or souvenir cabinet. In addition, we are preparing a
60th anniversary special edition to be ready for ordering by early
2010.
We are now making this mantle display available to other KWVA
Chapters.
The cost is $12 each when ordered in quantities of 25. This price
includes customizing the display with the Chapter’s name and number
on the front, and a short statement about the Chapter on the back.
For more information about the display, or to order mantle displays
for your chapter, please contact:
