I've received word that Philip W. McPeake passed away on Monday, March 7, 2011. He served with L Troop, 2nd Platoon, during 1968-1969. He also attended many of our reunions and appeared in "High Impact" a couple of years ago. This one hour show about the M-16 rifle can still be found on the History Channel once in a while.
Here's the current visitation and funeral details:
The visitation will be held next monday, March 14, 2011 from 2-4 P.M. at Highland Memorial Parks (865-588-0567), 5315 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919. Afterward, a ceremony with full military honors will be conducted by a unit from the Tennessee National Guard. Arrangements have been made for his interment at Arlington National Cemetery. The date and time have yet to be scheduled.
Phil's obituary will be published this coming Friday in the Knoxville News Sentinel (knoxnews.com). Sympathy cards may be sent to his daughter, Kelly Lyon, 2321 Tipton Station Road, Knoxville, TN 37919. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Phil's memory be made to the 11th ACVVC Scholarship Fund.

There are 165 days until our reunion in St Louis. Get your registration in now. You don't want to be left out. Not sure if you can go? Make your registrations (reunion and hotel) now anyway. It's better to have to cancel than to be left out completely.

Ladies and visiting friends,
Are you looking for something to do while your man is in his meeting? We invite you to join the ladies of the Blackhorse on a cruise. We will be going on a St Louis paddlewheeler cruise. We have the choice of two types. The first is a short 1 hour trip and will allow all people visiting SL, the second cruise is a 2 and a half hour trip and would be a PRIVATE trip which would include brunch. Cost? should be anywhere from 10 to 30 dollars, If you would like to join us PLEASE make your reservation with us by contacting me, Barb, at puppytoes8@gmail.com.
We must have a confirmed count by April 10th. So be sure to let me know.

The state if Kansas is processing a bill, HB2132 that slaps all our Kansas KIA’s & their families in the face. It has already passed the Kansas House of Representatives. HB2132 will provide ‘Gold Star Family’ license plates, but give ‘Gold Star’ status to any service person who dies while on active duty. Circumstances of death are not a consideration. Tragic as any death is, the bill is written such that it will include death by overdose of an illegal drug, death due to drunken driving, death while committing a crime, and death as the result of any irresponsible behavior. The only requirement under this bill for Kansas ‘Gold Star’ status is simply death while on active duty. If you think this is OK, do nothing. If you think this is unacceptable, contact me at: jkhien@att.net
