Talk-To-Me
747 Project
Proposed New Service
We are in the embryo stage of establishing another division of Miller's Vets. It would be entitled "Talk-To-Me" Program. Not a Speakers Bureau, but a list of World War II Veterans who are able to talk and visit about their combat experiences. There will be three conditions precedent to their performance. Event must open with prayer (can be a generic Father/God prayer), consisting of not less than two elements, thanking God for our nation and the freedoms we enjoy and then asking God's blessings on all of our service men and women throughout the world. The next element will be the Pledge of Allegiance, reciting the words "one nation under God" without a pause. The third element will be singing the National Anthem. This followed by a 30 to 40-minute talk or visit by the guest Vet, followed by honoring the most recent deceased World War II Veteran of St. Joseph County. The brief service would include a minimum of three vets firing three volleys each (sound suppressed); playing of Taps; if a next of kin is present, then officially fold the flag, kneel and present it to the next of kin.
This program will have the salutary effect of putting a minimum of three of Miller's Vets with a senior community leader for an impressive program. Secondly, it would permit our various senior groups, also schoolchildren, to learn from the rapidly decreasing World War II Vets of their historical experiences.
