Christmas Project 2014 The Dade County Men’s Civic Club are now putting together plans for the 2014 Christmas Gift Program for the less fortunate children of Dade County. We count on the generosity of the community to help fund the cost of the gifts. You have been so kind to us the last several years and do hope that you will continue to help with this charity. There will be approximately 230 children that are in need of our help. We hope to make this a merrier Christmas for them and that some day they will remember that someone did care and that after they are grown, that they will want to ‘pay this help forward.’ Please send your donations to Don Adams, Treasurer, 35 N. State Hwy 39, Greenfield, MO 65661; Scotty Holman, President, 746 College Street, Greenfield, MO 65661; Homer G. Ellis, Vice President, P.O. Box 126, Lockwood, MO 65682 or anyone of the members. There will be drop off boxes at the Dollar General Store in Greenfield as well as at the local banks, where you can leave a new toy if that would be your choice. Thank you, one and all!

Charles Killingsworth, formerly of Greenfield, who now resides with his daughter, Debra, in Carthage, was pleasantly surprised Thursday, October 30, 2014, when T.J. Houston and James Taylor of Hospice arrived at his home to honor him for his years in the United States Air Force between 1941 and October, 1945. He was presented a pin and special award that read: Hospice Compassus We appreciate our veteran, Charles Killingsworth, United States Air Force.

Tucson, Arizona. After basic, he was sent to San Francisco and then back to Tucson where he trained as a surgical technician. Afterwards, he spent much of his time assist-
ing in surgeries. He was sent to Illinois for a time and then back to Tucson. He also spent time in Kentucky and Newport, Virginia. Charles spent his last two years of service in
Naples, Italy. When he arrived, they spent much of their time in bomb shelters during the day as they were bombed daily for a while. He was sent to Brazil to fly patients back to the
United States and then after the war, he was sent to St. Louis to be discharged in October of 1945. He came from St. Louis on the train to Springfield and caught a ride to Greenfield with John Marshall Young, who had taken a load of cattle to sell. He then walked the last mile or so home. There were five Killingsworth brothers in service. Truman Killingsworth was killed at the Battle of the Bulge. Charles married his wife, Geneva, in October of 1947 and lived happily for 66 years until she passed away November 30, 2013. Charles will celebrate his 95th birthday on December 29. He would appreciate a card. The address is Charles Killingsworth, 1732 Hillcrest Drive, Carthage, MO 64836.

Lockwood Chamber Of Commerce Presents The Lockwood Christmas Parade!! Submi ed by Penny White
The Lockwood Chamber of Commerce is diligently working towards Saturday, December 6th, 2014, when we will be sponsoring the Annual Lockwood Christmas Parade!!! The theme for this year’s parade is “A Great American Christmas”. The parade will begin promptly at 1:30 pm. We are asking the Veterans of our community to be the Parade Marshalls. If you are a veteran in the Lockwood area, please contact American Legion Commander, Kevin White about being a part of this parade. The Chamber invites all businesses, organizations, clubs, churches, and anyone else that
might enjoy the opportunity, to join our merry parade by entering a float, decorating a wagon full of grandchildren, riding your 3-wheel bicycle, or decorating your horse. We would love to have you!! Any entry, as long as it’s tasteful and goes with the theme of the parade, is welcome. If you have questions, please contact Penny White at Town & Country Tire, Janice Harrington at Liberty Bank-Lockwood, or Brenda Richter at Great Southern Bank-Lockwood. These ladies are working hard to make sure the parade is a huge success and fun for all. If you decide to make an entry, please come by one of the above businesses listed and turn in a description of your entry.
volunteers who help prepare the fish, the cooks, those cleaning tables, serving drinks, baking and donating pies and all the other important jobs that make this event a success. Most of all, thank you to all those who came out to share the day.
All entries should be lined up no later than 12:30 for judging. If you would like to enter a car in the parade, you should contact Ella Whaley or Chipper Allen. They have agreed to be in charge of the car entries. We look forward to seeing your creativity at work with the ideas for entries and the decorations. Please come join us and if you don’t want to have an entry, please come enjoy the show by standing along the parade route and cheering for your favorites! The Lockwood Chamber of Commerce loves doing things for this community!! Thank you for your support to our businesses and our small town!!
These days, she brightens the day for the residents at the Dade County Nursing Home and RFC with her piano playing. She has “about worn out the piano keys” since she arrived at the RFC this summer. Continuing to play the piano has contributed to her quick, happy transition to her new home. Starting out, Janette didn’t imagine that she would amass such a large collection or be considered an archivist. However, over the years the forethought she had to preserve the programs has resulted in a valuable resource to genealogist. The programs often provide
information that may not be captured in obituaries. For example, the pall bearers listed may provide a clue to other family members, neighbors, friends, etc. when researching. The Society is interested in collections you may have, too. The work we do today to organize and save records will enhance the work of future genealogists. Visitors to the Warren Room at the Library are often surprised at the large amount of information available to patrons. You may find an interest in becoming a genealogist yourself. Again, thank you, Janette!

LOCKWOOD NEWS by Retha Jones Greetings to everyone. Most of this month, or al,l I will be a patient here at Good Shepherd Nursing Home, not a resident. Two weeks ago my left leg became paralyzed and I also lost most of my strength and energy. Some of us thought I had a mini stroke. Doctor wanted me to enter Mercy Hospital in Springfield for tests which would prove I had not had a mini stroke, so what happened-we do not know. I was at Mercy for 6 days and have been here at Good Shepherd nine days. My therapy is helping, not fast enough for me! From now on my news will be quite differ-
ent. Members of the Methodist Church here in the home are Laura, Harvey, June, Retha, Phyllis and Erma, a Methodist Home! Most of us here for therapy, etc. You are kept busy here. When you can rest, you rest! I have had nice visits with a number of callers. Yesterday was Larue’s birthday. Her family served birthday cake to many. I’m in a wheelchair but will soon be using the aid of a walker. How pretty the leaves are from my window here at Good Shepherd. Halloween night was busy here; kids from near and far. Some beautiful and some scary costumes. Plenty of candy, some left over. The Methodist Trunk or Treat had some over 200 kids.
Wednesday night, Paul and Patty Evermon prepared a breakfast meal for youth at FLC. I did not make note of the amount of items they fixed. Maybe next week I will have it. Mrs. Emily Rice and her family recently took a vacation flying to Disney Land in Florida. That’s a kid’s paradise! And the cold weather did come. Most vegetation got killed. I hear we’re headed for a hard winter! Eating with me at my table in the dining room is Olivia Diefenderfer and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Moss of Neosho. He said he had been a resident here for over two years. The Methodist Harvest Day was well attended Friday and Saturday. I have a good roommate, Mae Haubein. Very
quiet, no problem. Several residents I’m well aquainted with. My neighbors at home, Ramona and Nathan, were in Columbia Tuesday night and Wednesday on medical visits for Nathan. Kevin Stump is taking treatments now at Little Rock. A stop for snack timeice cream! Dates to remember November 23rd, Ministerial Alliance, Thanksgiving Worship, 7 p.m., Mt. Olive Baptist.

Spiritual warfare: Satan does not want you to give your life to Jesus. Once you are a Christian, however, the battle for your soul is over and Satan will not attempt to keep you from being a faithful witness. Five ways the devil wins: 1. Satan brought stress and pressure upon the Church. Tribulation was a form of torture. Today, Satan is trying to crush the church and her members. 2. Satan is hoping that you will compromise in the midst of abundance. It is easy to compromise. 3. Satan surrounds the faithful Christian mi-
nority with evil faithless majority. 4. Satan will cause open hospitality, ill treatment and persecution to fall upon Christians. What is the Church to do? 1. We must not fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 2. Do not give up. Galatians 6:9 3. Listen to the Lord. Psalms 85:8 Rodney gave us a very good sermon Sunday night on angels. You are always welcome to worship at Main Street Baptist Church with us.

Ar cle wri en by D. Lehman
Logan Lizenbee, senior at Greenfield High School, auditioned for the Southwest Missouri Music Educators All-District High School Honor Band on November 4th. He was awarded one of nine spots in the performing ensemble.

ANTIOCH PILGRIM NEWS by Lesia Jones Happy 50th birthday to Tammy Garver who celebrated on the 5th that special day. She had a full week of surprises. The Friday night before, her daughter, Jennifer, got her tickets to see Clint Black in Branson. Then on Saturday night, she babysat her grandson Waylon and got lots of one-on-one lovin’. Then on Sunday, Charlene Wilson took her to town and did some running around and when she got home her daughter, Jennifer, had a small surprise party for her. Then, the day of her birthday, husband, David, surprised her and came home and they headed to Springfield to eat and do some running around. Tammy said they all did a great job as she was clueless over the whole thing. Many more, Tammy. On Friday morning, Kim and friend, Kenny, headed to Marshall, Illinois, to some friends’ house to do some hunting. They ran into rain and snow. The wind was blowing 40 miles per hour and Kim about froze. Took him awhile to get
warm again. The temperature change and he got a cold. He was sure happy to see home on Monday night. On Halloween night, Lesia Jones, Jacob and Abby Jones, Kelbey Bowles all joined Betty Vandegrift at her home for soup and all to be there to help pass out candy and see all the children. Jacob had more fun blinking his truck lights at the children. He is still a kid at heart. It was a cold night and we did not have as many as usual. Which means I had a lot of candy to eat. Ha!! On Saturday morning, Betty Vandegrift and her three daughters, Lesia, Lynetta and Linda, all met up and enjoyed doing some shopping, eating lunch out and taking in a movie. I got home just in time to meet Dustin at 7 to get Wade and Chloe to spend the night as they were going to a Halloween party along with Jacob and Abby and Kelbey Bowles. We played games, ate popcorn. It was all about them night as usual. That is why they want to come to our house.
Our Sunday morning, breakfast bunch was Wade and Chloe, Jacob, Abby and Kelbey. Melinda picked up the grandchildren to get them ready for church. Kelbey and I headed to church. Went by Subway afterward. Carol Jones visited in Kelbey home on Sunday afternoon. They have started doing some digging and will be pouring concrete right away. After church, we had a ladies retreat meeting. We already have two speakers penciled in along with a singer. We will meet again in January after all the holidays. Such a busy time of the year. Lucille Franklin and Betty Vandegrift headed to Lamar after church to a special celebration of some of Lucille’s friend/family. They are still keeping the roads hot. Lucille will turn 90 on Friday the 7th and she has not slowed down yet. Sunday afternoon, I finished getting my flowers/yards/pots all ready for winter. My yard is ready for winter, but I am not!! Grandson, William, had
a bug and missed several days of school. So far, Wade and Chloe have not caught it. None of us want that stuff. Mom had talked to her twin brother, Bob and he reported that their sister-inlaw, Linda Bennett, had visited over a recent weekend with them. Linda is the widow of their brother, the late Norris Bennett. They reported a great time. Another election day has came and gone. It is a full day for the workers. Happy that Stacy and Sarah Holland and family got moved to their new home outside of Everton, but we will miss them as being our closest neighbor. Hope they enjoy their home with more space with two little ones running wild. Not so handy for Tom or Crystal to run right over and get them for a short visit. My Kim had to undergo some outpatient surgery on Wednesday in Springfield. They removed the loose skin on his eyelids that was impairing his vision. He said this is not something he would want to do again. I
had to go get pain pills for him. He is swelled up and turning many colors. I am just telling everyone that I finally got to beat him up. When all is healed, he will be glad he did it. He just had a minor eye lift. Does anyone around these parts sell Tupperware?? I have some pieces to get replaced. Guess I will need to go online and find someone. Pastor Rick at Liberty has installed a nice big overhead screen. He uses it a lot in his sermon. They are also getting ready to pour a big concrete basketball court for the Team Kids. On 11-30-2014, Liberty Baptist church will be hosting the fifth Sunday singing. It begins at 5:30 with good food and fellowship, the singing will begin at 6:30. Everyone is invited. Ruby Taylor and her sister has been really sick with this bug. They were down for about a week. So many have been sick. A speedy thinking of you is sent to Patty Killingsworth who had some procedures done and
will be off work for a couple weeks. Right before that her huband, Earl Killingsworth, had been in the hospital for about 3 days. Earl needs some TLC before Patty got done. Wishing you both a speedy recovery. Things have been quiet at my house, since all Kim could do was lay in his recliner. I was thinking of some things maybe he could do while shut up in the house, but they don’t fall under the doctors’ order. So I guess they will wait. Called this Friday morning to wish my baby brother, Darren Vandegrift, a happy 50th birthday. Had to tease him little bit. Gun season is upon us. Everyone watch out for the deer running wild and be safe. Have a great week. Cousin Denny Jones is coming to spend the weekend with us opening weekend.

Congratulations to John Hurley & Kelsey Holman on the arrival of a baby girl, Lila Jean, on November 3rd. She tipped the scales at 7 lb. 5 oz and was 20.5 inches long. She will be welcomed home by big brother. Also, I want to congratulate former waitress at the Backwoods, Crystal Woods, on becoming a grandma on
November 5th. Her son, Khlab Decker, is the proud father of a baby boy, Braxton Kendall, who was a big boy. He weighed 8.5 lbs and was 23 inches long. Last weekend, Violet Campbell's family had their yearly Halloween Party and as always it was a huge success. You couldn't have gotten another person on the wagon for the wagon ride. Noah Jeffreys is one proud youth hunter after getting a nice 8 pt. buck. Way to go, Noah. Kevin & Cricket Marshall & family drove up to
Marshall, Missouri to watch their son, Austin, play Wednesday night. It was a real nail biting game and they ended up loosing only by 1 point. I want to send out sympathy to my son’s, Colt, girlfriend, Alex, who lost her grandfather, Harlen Brooks of Branson, last week. Cheryl Huchteman Polodna will have her last chemo treatment on the 14th and then will take 12 straight weeks of taxol. Keep this young lady in your prayers. Laverne Hickey will be
done with his chemo by the time you read this and as he says, it’s none too soon. Rick & I went to the cancer center on Monday and Tuesday and he got a good report. All is staying the same, so we are happy. Ran into Betty Hughes while we were there and she still cannot eat. Hopefully, the doctor will give her some help but we didn't see her again before we left. Our good friend, Shawna Small, from Ash Grove is going to have to start treatments again. Her cancer has come back and
she will be having to stay in Tulsa for a while. Keep all these people in your thoughts and prayers. By the time you read my news this week, Rick & I should be back from seeing my son, Trevor Hawkins and family, in Bismarck, North Dakota, unless we get snowed in. Ha .Ha. It would have to be an awful big snow to keep Baker away. Anyway, news is short this week due to us being gone.
Steve would get on for a ride. Homemade list: apple dumplings, cinnamon rolls, orange twists, buckeyes, taffy, apple butter, persimmon cookies, peanut butter treats, chocolate cherries, gooseberry pie and much more. All loaded in my truck after another fantastic Cedar Haven AM (Mennonite) Church Benefit night in Halltown Missouri. Not to mention a delicious supper! Thank you to the friends I invited: Rob and Linda Maupin, Alan and Tina Duncan, Joe and Beverly Morris, and Kris Cole and Tara, and Anthony McBaine for coming out, glad you had fun. Thank you to the Cedar Haven friends for inviting us all! Have someone looking for some farm help, but requirements include no booze, drugs, no criminal background. Family farm, work is aplenty, pay is very good. Email me Brockin4@aol.com. Accountability is a must, as is respect. Cattle, crops, hay, fence, and general farm work. Have another friend
looking for a part time local
I love to see the faces of people when they open their gifts. I will need to get them done as I have to get them in the mail in time for our family to get them before Christmas. I am glad election is over. I got so tired of all those election ads. Some of our church members were next door to where the man was taken that shot Deputy Sheriff Matt Chism, and a lot of our members knew him personally. What a loss for our community. We need to pray for
all of our law enforcement.
LICK SKILLET by Barbara Reyelts This week as we watch and listen to local news , two tragedies devastate families. The loss of a devoted and dedicated law officer. A man with a family, a man who put his life on the line each and every second for those of others. Officer Matt Chism, more than just an officer, a husband, a father, a son, a grandson, co-worker, and friend of many. Peace be with this family, for their days and weeks shall give them sweet memories, yet the painful hurt and loss that came too soon. God be with them in their hearts, and if you have an officer in your family as we do, or just a friend who is one, tell them thank you. The second loss is that of a young man who died after using K2, marijuana, and cough syrup. Items all willingly put in his body, yet a family, friends, and schoolmates mourn this too young and sudden loss. Media had several posts, of which most simply said if marijuana was legal he would not have died? Sorry, not something that will bring this young man back.
His life is over; gone due to sad circumstances. Yet this family mourns just as any other does, and many questions will remain as their tears fall. May God be in their hearts to help them with their loss. Small communities are not free from the daily loss of a life due to the actions of others, or simply ones self. It is going to happen no matter where you are, no matter how populated the area may be. It makes you wander why and where have moral values gone. Too many folks will encounter that invasion of doing it “their way” out of rebellion, poor choices, or simply because they refuse to follow and accept that doing right is always best. For those we must also sadly mourn. People want change in our country, our politics, our laws, etc.. yet you have to be willing to stand up and you have to know the difference and have the desire to want what is right to be a positive part of such. Life came with an instruction manual, don’t leave it on a shelf to become
dusty. More important, don’t use it to your own interpretation, let the chapters speak out with words of truth, and seek no false prophets, for they lurk every where just waiting for you. Novelists. Look it up. You will need the right book. Who is ready to hunt! Me! I love deer season with a great passion. I can spend every single day in the woods. Some days I shoot a lot of things - with my camera! It is totally amazing to watch a wild turkey creep down a wooded hillside, a squirrel tip toe within arms reach, and even that noisy armadillo as he wallows loudly about in the leaves along his travels. I even enjoy watching locals circle the block, and what they do too is quite hilarious. Camo - keeps us sitting on that old tree stump, camera in hand, gun ready at arms reach; life at its best on a cold fall day as the leaves swirl and fall about so graciously. Be safe and good luck to all this year. I know I’ll be making jerky soon! Our game/ security cameras have shown a lot of
activity lately. Both two and four legged! And take some advice and get your own set up, because a lot of things seem to be missing lately in our area. Thieves aplenty and we have had some meat come up missing from our freezer this week. We know who did it. When you see me making a circle, as country folks call it, perhaps a bit slow, with the passenger side window down at times, just wave and we shall wave back! My great nephew prefers “c’mon, truck, cows, moo“ over watching TV, playing on the computer or anything electronic and new fangled! So we spend time checking cows, horses and even see a lot of deer. If only all children could have this experience. He certainly keeps our lives entertained, and loves it that Uncle Steve lets him ride the horses. He is 26 months old and got to gallop on Jim ( horse ) last week for the first time which he loved. Even better he was allowed to sit on the non kid horse, Lil Grey. He patted the saddle behind him in anticipation Uncle
babysitter ASAP. Halltown Area, email me. Thanks

which is very critical, and my Dad who suffers from severe Parkinson and will need extra help and care. Also the Linder family of Mt. Vernon as I learned last night Ronnie passed away suddenly. “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous be moved. “ Psalm 55:22
Peace.
TRUDELL NEWS by Blanche Trudell Things are getting a little better around here., The pollen is lower due to the frost and that helps out with the allergies. After church, we went to lunch, then Joe and I went to take communion to some of our shut-ins this week and it was good to be back in the swing of being a servant of the Lord. We ended up going to Humansville and visiting with Guy and Joyce Henry. Joyce has been sick with the flu and Guy has been home bound for a long time. He is
a World War II vet, and has problems getting out to church. He enjoys Joe visiting with him, and taking communion on the first Sunday of each month. We also visited with Chuck and Laura Edwards, as he wasn’t up to coming to church this Sunday. He has good days and bad days. We always enjoy going to visit with our church members, as God’s people are wonderful. Thad and Butch Burrows came out and cut wood and sighted in their guns for
deer season. The funny thing is that when Sac Osage Electric came to trim trees around the electric lines, they spotted a couple of deer checking out the new deer stands. I guess they will stay away from them this year. It was neat watching the long boom cutting all the limbs 15 foot away from the lines and now we are less likely to have outages during an ice storm this winter. That is a win-win, situation and now Thad and Butch won’t have to cut trees for fire wood, as there is a lot
down and all they have to do is trim it up. I went for my diabetic check up and found out that I am anemic. Now I get to take another pill so I won’t get so tired, (I HOPE) Joe and I did some Christmas Shopping while we were in Springfield, and now I have to finish making the rest of the Christmas presents. I need to make several, but I am getting closer and closer. I enjoy making things for our families and friends, for Jesus’s birthday.
Let us remember to pray for, all those who are serving our country, (the wars and rumors of wars don’t look good to me) and pray for those in the nursing homes, all the people who have been sick or lost loved ones. we need to pray for all of our Law enforcement. God Bless America! May God bless us all!

MY TURN by Bob Jackson WHICH ARE YOU? Some members keep their club, group, organization strong. While others join and just belong some dig right in, some serve with pride. Some just go along for the ride. Some volunteer and do their share. While others, lay back and just don’t care. On meeting nights, some always show. While there are others who never go. Some always pay their dues ahead. Some get behind for months instead. Some do their best, some build, some make. Some never give but always take. Some lag behind, some let things go. Some never help the group to grow. Some drag, some pull, some don’t, some do. CONSIDER WHICH OF THESE ARE YOU? OLD LADY AS TOLD BY A MISSOURI STATE TROOPER I made a traffic stop on an elderly lady the other day for speeding on MO Hwy 97 west of Miller, Missouri. I asked for her driver’s license, registration and proof of insuranse. The lady took out the required information and handed it to me. In with the cards, I
was surprised, due to her advanced age, to see she had a conceal carry permit. I looked at her and asked if she had a weapon in her possesion at this time. She said yes, she had a 45 automatic in her glove box I asked her if she had any other firearms. She said yes, she had a 9mm Glock in her center console. Now, I had to ask one more time if that was all. She said one more, a 38 special in her purse. I asked her what was she afraid of. She looked me right in the eyes and said without flinching, “NOT A DAMN THING.” THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK Have you ever listened to some one for a while and wondered, “Who ties your shoelaces for you?” A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. Always keep your words soft and sweet just in case you have to eat them, Never buy a car you can’t push. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

Everton Honors Veterans
Everton elementary students pose with the veterans honored at a recent assembly held in the Everton school gym. Submi ed by Cheryl Konarski
Everton RIII School honored veterans on Friday, November 7th in the school gym. Dr. Janson began the program with opening remarks, after which the Missouri National Guard posted the colors. Following the posting Mrs. Carolyn Smith, Everton’s music teacher, led the students and audience in a moving rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.” It was wonderful to hear the gym filled with the sounds of our National Anthem. The audience and students remained standing as the preschool and first grade class led everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance. Following the pledge, the program continued with musical numbers honoring our veterans and our country. The first and second grade students performed “The Flag is Passing By” followed by the third and fourth graders who performed “You’re a Grand Old Flag.” After these selections, our fifth and sixth grade classes sang “America the Beautiful.” Following this performance, the fifth grade class, under the direction of Mrs. Armstrong, presented a Flag Folding Ceremony. As students folded the flag, others explained the history and meaning of the
American flag. Following this ceremony, the eighth grade music class performed “This Land is Your Land” and “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean” accompanied by eighth grader Chris Hankins on guitar and Mrs. Kristi Ball on piano. The Fundamentals of Music and Allied Arts music students followed with a performance of “Blue and Red and White.” All of the musical performances were fantastic and greatly appreciated by the audience. Following the musical numbers, the Everton High School Beta Club, under the direction of Mrs. Jennifer Miller, presented the Missing Man Ceremony. This moving tribute is to acknowledge the inability of our missing to be with us in the celebration we held, because they have been left behind, and to honor their sacrifice for this country. The ceremony began with an empty round table; the table is round – to show our everlasting concern for our missing military members. The tablecloth is white – symbolizing the purity of their motives when answering the call to duty. The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of

each of the missing, and the loved ones and friends of these Americans who keep the faith, awaiting answers. The vase is tied with a red ribbon, symbol of our continued determination to account for our missing. A slice of lemon on the plate is to remind us of the bitter fate of those captured and missing in a foreign land. A pinch of salt symbolizes the tears endured by those missing and their families who seek answers. The glass is inverted – to symbolize their inability to share the tribute. The chair is empty – they are missing. The program concluded with the viewing of a video compiled by Everton PTSO honoring our veterans and active duty military members who have attended Everton School. Those honored from the United States Army – Sgt. Lloyd Knackstedt, PFC Charles Graham, PFC Henry Earl Wills, Sgt. William Jones, Cpl. Florence Savage-Jordan (Women’s Army Corp), Cpl. Bryce Knackstedt, Cpl. Robert C. Jerome, PFC Billy Jack Douty, SPC Willis DeClue, SPC Donald Robertson, SPC Bill Jones, Lt. Glendal Wright, 1st Lt. Rodney Miller, SPC Roger Darrell Hudson, SPC For-
