"593rd Transportation Company Welcome Home Dinner Dance
Hello wonderful members, friends, family and supporters,
So many of you have been sending emails as to why I have not sent out a newsletter ((smile))) thanks for your concern.....everything is just fine.....I wanted to wait until our wonderful Nevada National Guard Dinner Dance was over....so you could share in the event if only through photos and my commentary.
The weekend started early, by 11:00 AM Friday, Irma Manor, American Legion High Desert Post #56 had the 'Hospitality Suite' donated by the Grand Sierra Resort set up with beverages and snacks..it was beautifully organized and hosted 100% by Marco Manor, Commandor on behalf of the post, thanks also to the American Legion Members who hosted, tended bar, cleaned up and entertained the soldiers and families who visited both Friday and Saturday......Thank you not only for this event but also for helping to host the welcome home party for the 593rd in September, telephone cards at Christmas and the other zillion things you do so generously thoughout the years....HOOAH
We were honored by having several 3 Star Generals, MAJ GEN Cynthia Kirkland, Major Amadeo Flores and his staff who were in
Iraqwith the 593rd. This was my first military event, the ceremony for the MIA/POW was deeply touching as was the moment of silence for our fallen soldiers......awards were given to various guests....imcluding my Web of Support, Don and Pat Lindsay of Soldiers Angels, Paula Fleming of Blue Star Moms (also a web member) and Marco Manor of American Legion High Desert Post #56, "
