Speaker: Bill Michels

This month we remember the Battle of Saipan that began on 15 June 1944.  The battle set the theme for the remainder of the Pacific War and led to our ultimate Victory.  Please come join us for our Monthly Luncheon at the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club this coming Tuesday, June 10th, when we will once again come together to share good times, good food and a great presentation by Bill Michels, who will be speaking to us about the 81st  Anniversary of the battle.  Bill is also going to share with us how the 4th Marine Division kept itself busy and refreshed when it was not in combat.  (Bill's father was a veteran of the the 4th MARDIV and the battle.)  Bill gave this presentation last year to the Joe Rosenthal Chapter of the national USMC Combat Correspondents Association to much acclaim, and Tom Graves of the Rosenthal Chapter was kind enough to introduce him to us.

We will also talk about CAPT Tom Snyder's escapades in May as he presented Distinguished Graduate swords at US Berkeley and Cal Maritime, and judge the Commandery's National History Day contest, all in his spare time of course.

Also, remember ... we will be in Summer Attire for this luncheon and will remain so through September.

As always, Social Hour begins at 1100 with the Program starting at noon.  Price for all this fun is a mere $50 at the door??

For the good of the order!
