dozens of marchers—including some 40 members of 264. Two
members marched carrying our banner. Some rode in vintage
cars of the Studebaker Classic Car Club.

The KVA conducted its Cape Cod meeting while Hurricane
Ophelia was fifty miles off the Nantucket coast. Thirty-four
members and some family members showed up.
Everyone was given a new KWVA/KVA coffee mug. A raffle
was held, and a KVA PX was set up. There was a spread of cold
cuts, pizza, fruits, and desserts.
The meeting lasted 2 1/2 hours, during which business from
the local to the national level was discussed.
One new member came over from Martha’s Vineyard when he
heard the Korean vets were meeting in Falmouth. And, many
members took applications back to their various posts and chapters.
