Post Reports
Post 1943 was proud to be able to provide a color guard for the internment of ashes for SAMS National Comptroller Mel Cooper on June 15, 2009. The Cooper family was in attendance including his long-time companion, Pamela G. Tysinger, and their five children. The color guard was comprised of Post 1943 members Dick Bevier, Kent McAden, Ian Todd, and Tom Williams. David Corbett of Wolf River Pipes & Drums volunteered his services as a piper for the internment.
Post 1943 is proud to announce the creation of its own website: samspost1943.webs.com. The website offers an introduction to the Scottish American Military Society and Post 1943’s activities in the Mid-South. The site has links to the national SAMS website, the Patriot, and many other Scottish sites. The photo gallery is being filled with pictures from Post 1943’s membership and activities.
Post 1943 is preparing for the 2009 Clanjamfry, an annual Scottish festival at Evergreen Presbyterian Church, Memphis, Tennessee. The Post will be providing the color guard for the opening ceremonies as well as maintaining a booth at the event.
