Dept.
Chaplain, Robert Fisk
“THE
VALLEY OF THE SHADOW”
I know
well the aspect of that Veil which mortal sight cannot pierce.
But I know
also, that the spiritual luxuries we so freely enjoy vindicate the faith that
behind the veil is the
God of
mercy and of most tender love.
Members in Need
Brother Brett D. Brown Camp #3, pray for health and restoration.
FYI
PDC Robert Jones,
recently sent me a copy of a article published in the Miami Herald regarding
the Truman estate at Key West.
The article was an
interview with SUVCW National Historian, Robert J. Wolz. Brother Wolz is Executive Director of
the Truman Estate sometime called the Little White House and has stated,
“Our goal is 100% authenticity as it was in Truman’s time. It may take years. It may never happen. But that’s our goal for
Florida’s only presidential museum.”
The Harry S. Truman
Little White House is open to the public.
111 Front Street
Key West, Florida
Admission is $12.00
Hours: 9 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. buildings,
7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
grounds,
last tour is at 4:30
p.m. daily.
I am in the process
of obtaining permission to re-print the entire article with photos. If we are unable to visit the museum
perhaps we can send a donation to show our support for our Brothers efforts to
complete his goals.

Department General Order pending
It is a goal of the National Department of the
Sons of Union Veterans to honor all members of the Boy Scouts of America who
achieve the prestigious Eagle Scout Rank with a certificate of Commendation.
They have posted a listing of the State Department Eagle Scout Awards
Coordinator and their Postal Addresses and phone numbers. Sons of Union
Veterans Camps and Departments must order the Certificates through the National
Quartermasters office.
Information should then be forwarded to the
appropriate State Department Coordinator. The Department of Florida Eagle Scout
Coordinator is:

who have arrived at this site whom are from a different state can find their
state coordinator at

there go to the site index and then to the Eagle Scout Program.
Past
Commander Camp #3, Jerry Lippencott with new Eagle Scout, William Ward, Jr. of
Deerfield Beach.
In the past three years as the Florida Department
Eagle Scout Coordinator I have found myself unable to be able to honor many of
the new Eagle Scouts that have come into being because of some snags in our
communications loop. Many times I received information after the Court of Honor
has been held or often as not I received the Scouts name and the name of his
Court coordinator and must begin a search for phone numbers or addresses to
effectively present the certificate at the Court of Honor.
I would ask Boy Scout Court of Honor officers of
the State of Florida that desire a uniformed member of the Sons of Union
Veterans of the Civil to appear at your scouts Court of Honor to simultaneously
submit their request to the National and to me. The form below can be filled
out, printed and mailed out to me at:
2078 Live Oak Blvd.
St. Cloud, FL 34771-8441
I will coordinate with SUVCW representatives
around the state of Florida and make arrangements for the information to get to
them in time for the Court of Honor.
