COMMANDER’S MESSAGE

Greetings Patriots, Ladies, and Friends:

This will be the last letter before our summer

break as well as my final letter as Commander of the

Chapter. It has been a pleasure to have served this

great group, and have been a part of all that we have

accomplished. We have helped many veterans and

their families here in the Austin area, and reached

out to many of the communities in Central Texas.

Thanks to all of those of you that have taken the time

to make the Military Order of the Purple Heart and

Chapter 1919 visible to our State Legislators, State

and Local leaders. We have added over 13 new

members and transfers to our roster. The Ladies

Auxiliary has also increased its membership and

reached the century mark.

Our April meeting was held at a new location and

was well attended. We were able to get acquainted

and welcome our new members. Also attending our

meeting was Red, White, and Bike who presented

four new bicycles to Little Hero’s. That makes a

total of eighteen bicycles presented in the last two

months. This is only one of the many organizations

that we are working with during the year. April 11th

and 12th, we were present at departure and return of

sixty more World War II veterans, the oldest of

whom is 102. Honor Flight continues to provide this

free trip for WWII veterans who wish to go. If you

know of a WWII veteran who has not been able to

travel to D.C. and visit their Memorial, please get

in touch with Honor Flight Austin. Contact John

Burkhardt or Ernie Banasau to make arrangements.

Speaking of Honor Flight Austin, it will be the

main theme of this year’s annual picnic as well as

the swearing in of our new slate of officers for

2014/2015. This will take place at Harold and Rose

Weeden’s who have, once again, offered the use of

their lovely home and surroundings. We will honor

our WWII veteran’s. There will be military

equipment, entertainment, BBQ, and the drawing for

the quilt. You will not want to miss this, so plan on

being there on May 17th. Even though the 17th is our

last meeting until August when we will be

celebrating Purple Heart Day, there are still events

where we make our presence known. There are

Memorial Day ceremonies at locations all around

our area so please try to attend at least one of these

events. The Georgetown Memorial Day ceremony, at

9:00 a.m., guest speaker will be Texas State Senator

Charles Schwertner. This event includes wreath

placing and music by the 36th Infantry Division

Band of the Texas Army National Guard, held at

Georgetown-Williamson County Veterans Memorial

Plaza, in Sun City. We will try to give more

information by e-mail on locations as well as other

events as they come to our attention. It is important

that we have your e-mail address on file so we can

keep you better informed.

I hope that you all have a wonderful and safe

summer and thanks to all of you for your support,

and please continue to support the chapter and your

new commander, Scott (Big Sarge) Garrett.

bring desserts, such as cookies, pies,

brownies, and cupcakes.

Unit 1919 has more than 100

members! I appreciate everyone’s

effort in this achievement. Let us keep

the momentum going. It is vitally

important to have the membership

applications available when the

opportunity arises to recruit someone.

Street; Nacogdoches, Texas

place on June 13th. It would be nice

to have more ladies from our Unit at

the Department Convention. Please

contact Betty Cepeda or me if you

want to attend or have any questions.

The LAMOPH National

Convention will be August 5-9, 2014

in Denver, Colorado. Information

about the convention is in the Purple

Heart Magazine and this year you

can register online. The deadline for

early registration and hotel discounts

is July 14, 2014.

It has been a privilege and a

pleasure to be the Unit President for

the last three years. I appreciate all

of the big and small things done by

the Patriots and Ladies which kept

things running smoothly. I will

continue to be involved as much as

possible and work toward increasing

our membership. You all continue to

have my gratitude, love, and respect.

PATRIOT BULLETIN

LADIES, LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING “THANK YOU” TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR LOYALTY AND SUPPORT DURING THE THREE YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN HONORED TO SERVE AS UNIT 1919 PRESIDENT. THIS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FOR ME THROUGHOUT, BUT THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO PASS THE GAVEL, AND I CAN PLACE IT IN NO MORE CAPABLE HANDS THAN PRESIDENT ELECT, CARRIE GARRETT. CON-GRATULATIONS TO CARRIE AND HER NEWLY ELECTED STAFF. EVERYONE COME JOIN US INSTALLING THEM TO OFFICE ON MAY 17th

TxDMV: Texas Department of Motor Vehicles has

recently added a number of specialty license plates. If

you are like me, when out in traffic you have been

noticing some of those new ones and wondering what’s

going on with that. Wonder no more, DMV has

recently posted a new internet webpage (that’s it on the

top line) showing each of the 372 Specialty License

Plate designs now available. 86 of those are in the

Military and Veteran Specialty Plates category, and of

those, 25 are design options for Disabled Veteran plates

Here is the one for a

Disabled Veteran who

is a Purple Heart

recipient. This image

and all the 371 other

specialty plate designs

are displayed on that

TxDMV posting and you will have to look it up for

yourself, there is too much there to be able to include it

in PATRIOT BULLETIN. Also, military and veterans

can consult http://txdmv.gov/motorists/for-our-troops

for other up to date information.

see TxDMV below http://txdmv.gov/motorists/license-plates/specialty-license-plates.

PATRIOT STORY of JOHN PRICE: John’s feature

story was in the Feb 2004 issue of PATRIOT BULLETIN.

As with all the other patriot stories (there are nearly 100

of them now) it was included as a webpage on Chapter

1919’s website, making it available to anyone anywhere

who has an internet connection. See John’s WWII story

yourself at http://www.purpleheartaustin.org/price.htm.

It includes the account of his

B-17, the “Mary Jo,” being

shot down over Germany and,

it shows a photo of his crew

but he never had a picture of

the plane itself —at least not

until now. Thanks to Richard

Lewis of Elizabethtown,

Kentucky, who discovered

our story and has just sent this

photo of the “Mary Jo” and

three of her ground crew. It

was provided by a son of one of those three, so now John

has a copy for himself and this was too good not to share.

—MILT CARR, Adjutant, 512-343-7940

In a ceremony on April 9th at Fire Station 7 in east Austin, a Purple Heart that had been recovered at an estate sale was returned to descendants of Austin firefighter, Clarence Doherty, a soldier killed in

Chapter 1919 Patriot, JESSE J. FARMER, was wounded on Iwo Jima on Feb 19, 1945, and he was on a hospital ship offshore six days later when the historic flag raising took place on the summit of Mt. Suribachi. Sixty-nine years and one month later Jess and four other WWII Marine veterans of that battle were among a group witnessing the flag being raised again in a ceremony on that site at the top of the mountain. Thanks to guardian, Kory Ryan, for the photo.

Jess Farmer’s father had died when he was a young boy and to provide for her two sons while living in Austin, his mother waited tables in the Hoffbrau Haus (steak house still in business on W 6th St.). Jess left school to help support them, among other jobs, for a time, he was a paperboy selling American-Statesman on Congress Avenue.

DEPARTMENT OF TEXAS NEWS ...For Every MOPH Chapter & LAMOPH Unit…

FOR MOPH CHAPTERS

Patriots of the Great State of Texas,

The Department of Texas is in good

shape; we received SWR funds that

were distributed to the Chapters that

requested the funds. Purchases included

wheelchair back packs, picnic tables

and other items that assisted veterans

directly.

As I reported before, we have three (3)

major Dept fund raisers in the works.

1. A Seguin 10k relay run has been

authorized by the City; the time and

events are still in the planning phase.

2. A Department of Texas Fishing

Tourney is scheduled in South Padre

Island on September 20, 2014. Make

plans to get your boat ready, or your

team (4) per boat. Boats and guides

will be available on the Island.

3. A Texas State Veterans Arts and

Craft Fair is scheduled for October

10-12, 2014. Veteran artists will show

and sell their art work and get to meet

other veteran artists and the public.

We are asking two hundred ($200.)

from Chapters to assist the veterans

with a booth. Chapters participating

will share in the Department proceeds.

Texas Department Adjutant Bill

Crumlett is still waiting for articles and

pictures from around the State to post

on our website: www.mophtx.com.

Please visit the site and tell us what is

happening in your area. June

approaches quickly and I hope to see

all of you at our state convention.

Commander Bud Nettles is doing a

great job in organizing and coordinating

the agenda and banquet. Great job Bud!

Stay well and Happy Trails,

Tony Roman Commander Department of Texas, MOPH

FOR LAMOPH UNITS

Hello Ladies,

Congratulations to all the newly elected

Unit Presidents and other officers! I am

certain the Units of Texas continue to be in

good hands with eager and capable leaders.

As you prepare for the installation of

officers, remember to send a signed and

dated copy of your Installation Report to

National Secretary, Judy Fiddler. I would

appreciate it if you sent me a copy of your

Installation Report; however, a copy must

be sent to the National Secretary.

Do not wait until June to send your reports

to various National Officers. Early reports

will be appreciated since your information

must be compiled by June 30th in a report

for National Convention.

The Department of Texas Convention is

quickly approaching. It will be June 12-14,

2014 at Quality Inn and Suites, 4800 South

Street in Nacogdoches, Texas. Unit

Presidents please notify Trish Rosie (Junior

Vice President) if you have contributions

for Ways and Means, such as gift cards,

baskets, and new or gently used jewelry.

The LAMOPH National Convention is in

Denver, Colorado August 5-9, 2014. If you

are sending a delegate or delegates to the

convention, please submit the proper form

to the National Secretary by June 30th.

Texas is usually under-represented at

National Conventions. It would be

wonderful to have delegates who reflect

our level of membership.

Ladies, thanks for everything you do

for the Patriots and for keeping the

auxiliary active and relevant. Have a

delightful and amazing summer!

Yours in Patriotism,

Josephine

RANDY & KAYE PATTERSON Jr. 3/15

TAPS Patriot WALLACE E. “PETE” SNELSON, an Army, WWII

veteran died Saturday, April 26, 2014. He was born 91 years ago

into a pioneer farm and ranch family in Grandfalls, Texas. He was

one of six brothers, all of whom served in the military. Pete gradu-

ated from Grandfalls High School with the class of 1939, worked

the next year as news editor of the Grandfalls Gazette and then enrolled in

the Texas College of Mines in El Paso. He was called up for active duty in

April 1943. He was assigned to Company B, 324th Infantry Regiment, 44th

Infantry Division, and shipped to France with them. The division went into

the line in September 1944. Pete sustained serious shrapnel wounds from a

tree burst during German mortar shelling on November 13, 1944. After three

month’s hospitalization, he returned to duty. Because he had German lan-

guage training, he was reassigned as a Special Agent in the 307th Counter

Intelligence Detachment at 7th Army Headquarters in Paris for the remainder

of his time in service. He was discharged at Fort Bliss, Texas in March 1946.

He graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso, served on the faculty

there for six years, then was Vice President of Odessa College from 1952 to

1955. He founded and owned several businesses in West Texas and was

elected as State Representative from Midland in 1960. He was elected to the

Texas Senate in 1964 where he continued to serve with distinction for many

years. He chaired numerous committees including the Senate Education

Committee where he concentrated on legislation furthering higher education

and public education and he was especially proud of supporting legislation

of “Hazlewood Act” education benefits for Texas veterans. During his final

term in the legislature, Pete was Dean of the Texas Senate, and as Senate

President Pro Tempore, he was the Governor of Texas on December 4, 1971.

Patriot Wallace E. “Pete” Snelson joined MOPH during the early days after

Chapter 1919 was formed, he supported the chapter and regularly attended

meetings, especially favoring the informal luncheons in Georgetown. His

loss is keenly felt and he will be greatly missed.
