- The Lasy Friendly Face by Tom Mangan - The writer records his thoughts as he visits the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial and finds the name of one of his close Air Froce comrades, Tom McCormick. He had flown missions to Vietnam from Guam and finally was killed when his plane crashed on takeoff. Four years after the memorial's dedication, McCormick's name was one of the 95 added.
Tale of Two Cemeteries by Joyce Phelps and Donald C. Miller - In the first, the writer tells of the care taken of the Sicily-Rome Cemetery and the ceremonies there each Memorial Day. In the second, the ceremonies at Cambridge Cemetery in England are described.
A Vision of Greatness - The annual VFW Mid-Winter Conference in Washington was another highly successful gathering of the organization's leadership.

Bill Nichols (Ala.) at the Congressional Dinner.
