is a mission update and reminder from Mike “Weldermike” Johnson in
Wichita Falls about the mission there that involves our involvement with the reunion
of the Iwo Jima survivors of WWII. This promises to be a great event and
the North Texas monthly Meet and Greet will also be a part of this event.
Please pay close attention to the details below and be sure to respond as
requested. I know that Mike and Barbara and everyone in Wichita Falls
have been working very hard on this for a long time and it’s going to be
well worth the trip just to be involved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
