John Roberts Big Sir
Dear Fellow Sirs,
November starts the holiday season with Veterans Day and keeps it going with Thanksgiving. We certainly will honor our veterans next week at the luncheon. We hope all of you who are veterans will bring and wear your service caps. We are not the only one honoring Veterans. Many retail outlets and restaurants are offering discounts and free meals to those who have served. Among those I have found are Denny’s , Chili’s, California Pizza Kitchen, Red Lobster, Applebee’s , BJ’s, Peet’s Coffee, Red Robin, etc. These all offer free meals on November 11 with military ID. Go to military.com for a complete list of merchants.
Also check out military.ggu.edu for a list of activities around the Bay Area on Veterans Day weekend.
There’s even free admission to the Charles Schulz museum in Santa Rosa if you’re a Peanuts fan.
See below to hear more about our special Veteran’s Day luncheon program.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families.
John Roberts
President (formerly Big Sir)
Little SIR Gary Kohler
Our speaker this month will be Ret. Captain Hal Strunk who will be talking about "America's Wars and Veterans Day".
Hal lived and worked in Saudi Arabia, first for Arabian Bechtel and then as an Administrator for Saudi Military hospitals in Dhahran and Taif.
He was assigned to US Central Command and traveled the Middle East, North and East Africa as an Epidemiologist.
He holds two Masters degrees and a Doctorate from UCLA. He served five years in the Army and seventeen years in the Navy.
He is a member of SIR, the American Legion, VFW, Sons of the American Revolution and the Association for Intelligence Officers.
**** If you served in the military, wear you branch baseball cap.
Still in search for a member to step up as Vice President for 2025.
This is a great way newer members to meet more people on a deeper level and to have an impact on the organization's future.
Attention all members we are in search of speakers for our 2025 meetings. If you or someone you know would be of interest to the group, please recommend them.
At this month's meeting and moving forward 2 members will win $25 in our new monthly meeting drawing. Must be present at the very end of the meeting to win.
