"Beauty and Duty."
Our featured speaker this month will be the annual return of Alice Miller.
Alice is a collector of historical women’s service uniforms ranging from WAC service to nurses and medic uniforms to air service uniforms, which she brings to display in illustration of her presentation.
The theme of this year’s presentation will be "Beauty and Duty." It is another installment in her series on women in aviation and the military.
She will have interesting biographies and the uniforms to go with them.
This is our traditional Ladies Day Meeting, so Ladies please come and celebrate with us. Guys, please bring your significant others, as we want to welcome and honor all the ladies. Don't forget to bring the young ladies aspiring to the military or aviation.
You'll be sorry if you miss this one, we hope to see you all there!

Get involved, Join the Mighty 8th!
This non-profit organization is a great way to learn about the 8th Air Force in its role in defeating Germany during World War II.
People interested in learning more about the 8thAF, or to pass on what they know to others concerning the 8th AF contribution and other aviation unit histories that brought victory to the Allies in the European theatre of war (ETO) or other combat theaters, are encouraged to join the Oregon Chapter. Please fill out a membership form at the meeting.
The Oregon Chapter annual dues are $15. In addition, you can join the national organization whose dues are $60. The Oregon chapter publishes the quarterly newsletter "Flight Lines."
There are now only 10 members who flew combat missions during WW II. As an Air combat Veteran's Association we have members from the 15th, 10th, 12th, 8th, and 5th Air Forces, and members who flew combat in the Navy, Marines, and Air Force from WW II, Korea, thru Vietnam.
