What follows below is text that was written by Derek E. "Boe" Boeve, but to some extent it was read
at the American Legion Sauls-Bridges Post 13 membership meeting on 10 May 2007 by Rick Clevenger.
The text as drafted by Boe was not all read at the meeting, though a copy approximately like the one
below except that the last sentence was torn off by Boe, was provided for the Post 13 minutes. Anyone
wanting to see the motion as exactly incorporated into those minutes, please contact Post 13. In
addition, the minutes might refect a motion by someone other than Rick. Rick read this text or
substantially this text, but as I recall it, then someone else said "so moved". Rick did not include in
what he read, at least the last sentence. - Richard White, 16 May 2007
