Greetings Compatriots and Friends,

The March 2011 issue of the SAR Sacramento Chapter newsletter, The Courier, is now available online at URL: http://www.sarsac.org/Courier/Courier_Mar_2011.pdf. If you read my President's Message in the Courier, I refer to General George Patton's speech to the Third Army on June 5, 1944, the eve of D-Day. Here's the link to Gen. Patton's Speech.

The Sacramento Chapter will host our next general membership meeting at the Buggy Whip Restaurant on Friday, March 19, 2010. The March Meeting speaker will be our very own, US Air Force Major Sean Jones. In 1995, Sean was selected to fly the Lockheed U-2 Dragonlady at Beale Air Force Base, CA. He remained at Beale AFB until separation from active duty in 2001. Sean now flies for Southwest Airlines. See photos below.

And, last but not least, the Sacramento Chapter has a new Facebook page. Well, it is not exactly new, but it is new to you. I first put it together last August and have just fiddled with it here and there since then. It is now ready for Prime Time scrutiny of the public. Please join our facebook page and invite others you know to join as well.


I look forward to seeing you on March 18 at the Buggy Whip.

Don Littlefield
President
