A MAJORITY OF OUR MEMBERS IN CHAPTER 1919 WERE RECOVERING OR JUST RECOVERED FROM WOUNDS WHEN ARRIVING HOME FROM WARS THAT ENDED ABOUT 60 YEARS AGO, OR 50 YEARS AGO, OR 30 YEARS AGO, AND MOST ARRIVED HOME FACING AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE, TO RE-START A CAREER IN CIVILIAN LIFE WHILE STARTING A FAMILY AT THE SAME TIME. DAVE TOSH, WOUNDED IN IRAQ, WILL SOON BE ARRIVING IN AUSTIN, WITH HIS WIFE AND THEIR NOT QUITE YET BORN SON, TO JOIN CHAPTER 1919’S LATEST GENERATION OF PURPLE HEART VETERANS

COMMANDERS MESSAGE

S eptember’s Chapter meeting will be at Camp Mabry on the 17th. We will meet

in the Museum at Camp Mabry at 10:00AM.

We had a great meeting last month, with a fine presentation by SGM Dashman, he let us know what is happening with our service personal in Iraq. I want to thank Howard McKinney for his effort in lining up SGM Dashman for our meeting. The Executive Committee is working to bring in some great speakers for us in the future.

Elaine and I returned August 22nd, from Springfield Missouri. We were at the MOPH/LAMOPH National Convention. Sr. Vice Commander Armando Ybarra, and his wife Denise were also there representing our chapter. We had a major learning experience. Some much needed amendments to the bylaws were adopted that will simplify the red tape and help with our information being sent to MOPH National.

THE PATRIOT BULLETIN IS PUBLISHED, NORMALLY MONTHLY, BY THE TEXAS CAPITAL CHAPTER 1919, The MILITARY ORDER of the PURPLE HEART of the U.S.A., Inc., 5701 PAINTED VALLEY DRIVE, AUSTIN, TEXAS, 78759, FOR ITS MEMBERS. TO SUBMIT MATERIAL, OR COMMENTS, OR TO REPORT CHANGES OF ADDRESS, NOTIFY EDITOR, MILT CARR, (512) 343-7940, OR CONTRIBUTING EDITOR, DON BOSSERMAN, (512) 238-1040. NEWSLETTER IN COLOR: www.purpleheartaustin.org

We met many good MOPH patriots and ladies from all across America and enjoyed exchanging ideas on chapter activities and on how to help our servicemen, and women. We will start some new programs that will benefit our service personnel. One such program will be to “adopt a Unit” and send personal items to those serving in Iraq. I feel this great Chapter will do its fair share to help, because after all that’s what MOPH’s mission is all about.

Robert Lichtenberger’s term as National Commander came to an end with the election of James Randles in national convention. Chapter 1919 needs to know that Robert made many changes to the order that in my opinion were all for the good of the Order. One such change is that servicewomen are now allowed to become full members, and their spouse’s may become Associate members. Also, the convention voted to move National Headquarters to Oklahoma City, and that will happen soon. Robert and Sue you made Texas proud, thanks for a great year!

This month I want to thank Sean Carr, and Frank Horton for their help with the Coffee Bar this year. Both work many times a month, and are this month’s “for the good of the Order people”. The Coffee Bar still needs help, please call me if you can spare the time. (339-8034). Sean and Frank a big thanks and a respectful salute.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

W e had a wonderful celebration on Purple

Heart Day. A special thanks goes out to SGM Dashman for his presentation on his tour in Iraq. I need to thank Velia Castillo for the cake she brought and Valerie Dye, Rose Castillo, Denise Ybarra, Lilo Saenz and Betty Cedepa for serving the cake. Thanks also to Barbara Carr for leading us in singing the National Anthem. Fred and I have just returned from Springfield, MO. where the 73rd MOPH and 72nd LAMOPH National Conventions were held. Denise Ybarra, Louise Webb and myself represented Unit 1919 at the meetings and we will have a lot to share at our next Unit meeting.

An Amendment was passed that females at birth can now become Associate Members, and then at the age of fourteen will become full voting Ladies Auxiliary members of their Unit. They may be appointed to office at fourteen and may be elected to office at eighteen. If you have a new daughter

or granddaughter please consider giving them the gift of membership in our Unit. If you need a membership application please give me a call (339-8034) and I will mail one to you. At our September 17th Unit meeting we will have Department of Texas President, Carolyn Cooper making her Inspection of Unit 1919. She will also be presenting Virginia Banasau, Past Department of Texas President, with her Past Dept Presidents Pin. Come hear about all the news from Convention. Let’s have a great turn out and support for Unit 1919.

One thing that was we must always remember—we are here to help our Chapter with their projects. We will be making Purple Ribbons again to help with the fundraiser. We need Ladies to volunteer to make the ribbons and to help out at Muster Day at Camp Mabry in October.

I would like to thank Past National Commander Robert Lichtenberger for his support of the Ladies Auxiliary during his year in command. Robert and Sue have sacrificed much for the good of the Order. We at Unit 1919 say thanks for your service, you made us proud.

Please take the time to listen to our senior citizens. You will be surprised at what you can learn from them. God Bless,

Elaine

National Headquarters has added three new members to the rolls of Chapter 1919 since publication of last month’s PATRIOT BULLETIN. Welcome and Congratulations to all:

CHRISTOPHER J. CAMUNE is a Marine Corps veteran of Iraq. He was in Company F, 2nd Bn, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division and participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom II. He was wounded on February 18, 2005, and that makes him our most recently wounded Chapter 1919 Patriot. GEORGE DAY is an Army WWII veteran. George was in the Medical Detachment of the 11th Armored Infantry Battalion, 1st Armored Division, when wounded in Italy on January 5, 1944 while serving in the Rome-Arno Campaign. JIMMY P.

...Some Notes…

ABOUT OUR MEETINGS ...For Our New Members ( and some of us old ones that forget all the time )…

See the upside down calendar on the back cover of this and every newsletter. It has an abbreviated list of all meetings extending through June 30, 2006. Here’s what some of those shorthand notes really mean.

We have an informal breakfast at 6:30AM on the first Monday of every month in the Jim’s Restaurant at Highway 183 and Burnet Road. This is just visiting time for Purple Heart friends, no business talk allowed.

The “Outback Restaurant” at 713 E Huntland Drive is a tremendous “booster” for our Purple Santa Program. In recognition of that support, we schedule an “Outback Appreciation Nite” periodically and encourage our members to meet there about 6PM on an Monday evening where each buys their own supper off the menu and we enjoy the meal together and visit. Next time is Monday, October 3rd. Come, wear something purple.

T he 2005 National Convention of the Military Order of the Purple Heart is now history and our Chapter Commander, Fred

Rey, and Senior Vice Commander, Armando Ybarra, have returned home after representing us there in Springfield, Missouri. They both attended an inspirational address by the special guest speaker, Vice President, Dick Cheney. The text of that speech can be viewed by checking our chapter website purpleheartaustin.org.

Patriots, plan on attending a national convention sometime yourself, witness the action and hear great speakers. Robert N. Lichtenberger presided over his last official function and relinquished the gavel to our new National Commander, James D. Randles (Lilburn, Georgia). In that instant, Chapter 1919 went from being the only

Texas chapter to have a National Commander, to now being the only Texas chapter with a Past National Commander among its membership. Congratulations Bob, upon successful completion of your year as National Commander and welcome back home to Chapter 1919, we’ve been saving up some work for you. Congratulations are due to our good friends in Alamo Chapter 1836. The documentation from the National Convention lists the official membership strength of each chapter nationwide (for voting purposes), and so that becomes a convenient source for the statistics chosen to accompany this article at this time every year. Remember last year ? Chapter 1919 had just edged out San Antonio to become the largest chapter in the nation — before our chapter was even ten years old. Well, now that we are nearly eleven years old, notice that San Antonio has retaken the lead and we are just going to have to “try harder” from the number two position again. If every chapter in the nation were to work as hard as Chapter 1836 does at signing up more new members, just think about what MOPH would be transformed into. ...MILT CARR, Adjutant, (512) 343-7940

BENEFITS REVISITED

.Raised Two Questions On Free Parking Privileges..

LADIES FIRST ! Most everybody knows that when the Purple Heart veteran dies, the widow can retain his Texas Purple Heart license plates if she so chooses (and she should because of the low $3 annual registration cost). The question is, does the surviving widow have the free parking privileges that had been enjoyed by the Purple Heart veteran ? Yes, she does. This answer is from the reading of the state Transportation Code, SECTION 1, Section 681.008 which is the authority for the exemption of parking fees for Purple Heart plated vehicles (we aren’t alone, this privilege also applies to Pearl Harbor Survivor, Prisoner of War, Disabled Veteran and the other Texas veterans special plates), and it was provided by the Texas Department of Transportation representative, (512) 374-5010. FREE PARKING DOESN’T MEAN ANYWHERE YOU CAN PARK A CAR. The transportation code uses technical language. PATRIOT BULLETIN words it more simply, by saying, “state law exempts vehicles with Purple Heart plates from having to pay parking fees normally charged at city, county, and state owned fee parking facilities, including at parking meters and airports, but only when the Purple Heart recipient (or his widow) is driving or being transported in the vehicle.” PATRIOT BULLETIN also always adds,“NOTE: this free parking privilege does not apply at privately owned parking facilities, also, please be a good citizen and do not park in a Handicap Parking space unless you display a valid Handicap Placard (or have registered your Purple Heart plate as a handicap plate).”

We believe our membership deserves periodic reminders of these rules in the simplest language possible. Otherwise, some may unknowingly fail to gain the intended benefits. Because we publish widely, Chapter 1919 is contacted periodically by law enforcement agencies about what we have put in writing, most recently by the Harris County Sheriffs Office. None have suggested that the way we say it is incorrect in any way. However, experienced officers have suggested three points (listed below) that are recommended to be most helpful to avoid misinterpretation. First, free parking does not apply at commercial parking garages or any other privately owned parking facilities anywhere. Next, the “exemption from a parking fee” does not mean exemption from citation for illegal parking. And a last word of caution, Purple Heart plate vehicles are not authorized to park in Handicap Parking spaces.

READ YOUR “PATRIOT BULLETIN” ON THE

INTERNET

This newsletter can be viewed on the internet at our chapter’s website: purpleheartaustin.org/images/Sep05web.pdf It was posted there about 10 days before you received this paper version in your mailbox. The numbers just keep growing among our members and friends of the chapter who tell the editor to stop wasting money printing and mailing newsletters. They say it looks better in color on their home computers. That means the chapter is now beginning to realize savings on newsletter printing and postage costs Upon your request, Chapter 1919 will inform you by e-mail each month as soon as PATRIOT BULLETIN is available for viewing and we will suspend mailing this paper copy (until such future time that you may want us to re-start mailings).

DAVID A. (DAVE) TOSH PATRIOT, CHAPTER 1919 ARMY, IRAQ David A. Tosh was born April 1, 1972 in Cherokee County, Texas. His father had served in the Air Force during Vietnam, following which he enrolled in the University of Texas at Austin, studying under ROTC scholarship. When his father was commissioned in 1978, six year-old David proudly helped pin on his dad’s gold Second Lieutenant bars during the ceremony that was held in the LBJ Library. David attended public schools in Texas and New Mexico and graduated from Manzano High School in Albuquerque. He then attended Sam Houston State University in Huntsville. Following his graduation in 1994, Dave went to work in SW Houston as a police officer. But, that life changed suddenly after 9/11. David says, “I enlisted in the Army to fight terrorists !” He also took time to get married at Lake Travis on October 14, 2001 to Ann-Marie, a Westwood High School graduate that was attending the University of Texas. David Tosh went through Basic Training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and then was sent to Officer Candidate

School at Fort Benning, Georgia. He says, “I was commissioned on September 5, 2002 by Colonel Robert Nett, a Medal Of Honor recipient in the Philippines in 1944. He is my greatest hero. My father and my wife pinned my 2nd Lt bars on, using the exact same bars I had pinned on my dad back in 1978. That was a very, very special ceremony.” Assigned to the Armor branch, he went through the Armor Officer Basic Course at Fort Knox, Kentucky and was ordered from there to Fort Polk, Louisiana where he was further assigned to the 1st Squadron “War Eagles,” 2nd Cavalry Regiment (Light), the only light cavalry regiment in the Army.

Two months after his arrival at Fort Polk the regiment deployed to Kuwait. David says, “I was a Platoon Leader in B Troop when we arrived in April 2003. After two

weeks of training at Camp Udairi and Camp Victory, we pushed north. We were attached to the 1st Armored Division and my platoon was specifically attached to Company A, 2nd Bn, 37th Armor at the beginning of operations. The squadron set up camp in a deplorable burned out technical college in Sadr City that we named Forward Operating Base War Eagle. My platoon conducted daily combat patrols in east Baghdad and Al Fadhiliya, and performed numerous cordon and search operations, capturing militants and illegal weapons. We also performed a lot of humanitarian missions. Because we were a squadron of scouts, we

performed many missions for 1st Armored Division as far west as the outskirts of Fallujah and as far north as Diyala Narhawan. Because of my law enforcement background, I was given the job of recruiting and training Iraqi Facility Protection Officers (IFPS) within the local area of responsibility. On the night of October 14, 2003 (that just happened to be my 2nd wedding anniversary), we were enroute to the Iraqi Police Station to pick up officers for a joint patrol when my platoon was struck with two Improvised Explosive Devices. One 155mm artillery round was buried in the median and another one near a tree on the opposite side of the road. The blasts were simultaneous, hitting both sides of my Humvee and another vehicle. In my vehicle, the interpreter received fragmentation wounds to the face and arm, the rifleman had a dislocated shoulder, and I had shell fragments in my right hand. We dismounted and called for support from an Apache attack helicopter that was on our radio net. Although this happened 10 kilometers from our camp, they heard the explosion and called to ask if we needed 120mm mortar illumination rounds,

(which I called for). The attackers had been well concealed and escaped before we could destroy them. After being treated at the Squadron Aid Station and the Regimental Aid Station, I was returned to duty with the platoon a few days later.”

The 2nd Cavalry Regiment was set to return home after one year (April 2004), but was extended until July 2004 because of the “Sadr uprising” that was in all the news and was of great concern at that time. The final three months were spent in Al Kut. After returning to the United States, 1st Lieutenant David Tosh was assigned to Fort Knox, Kentucky where he currently serves as Executive Officer, Company A, 1st Battalion, 46th Infantry.

David and Ann-Marie are expecting the birth of their first child, a son, this month, maybe by the time you receive this newsletter. Then, after completing his term of service in November, David will be discharged and they will move to Austin. He says, “I want to work as a deputy with the Travis County Sheriff’s Department (if they’ll hire me !), I will go into the Army Reserves, and I look forward to being an active member of MOPH Chapter 1919. Ann-Marie graduated in 2004 with a degree in psychology and she will also be looking for work in the Austin area.” Patriots, stay alert, next month’s issue will report the baby’s name and, before long, David will be around to talk to us in person about his experiences.

...will bear the honorific title of... PAST NATIONAL COMMANDER

...but, that’s not all !… During closing ceremonies, Bob received a very high honor. He was awarded the Legion Of Honor from the Chapel of the Four Chaplains. Only one such award is given each year and previous recipients have included Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Carter, and Reagan, and other famous persons including James Michener, Bob Hope and John Glen.

The Chapel of the Four Chaplains is a service organization dedicated to the commemoration of the self sacrifice of four American chaplains during WWII. When the troop transport Dorchester was sunk in the North Atlantic, just after midnight on Feb 2, 1943, the four chaplains, George L. Fox, Alexander D. Goode, Clark V. Poling, and John P. Washington, each gave up his life jacket to other soldiers, making the deliberate choice to go down with the ship in order to save the life of others. They were posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, and the Four Chaplains Medal, an award established by Act of Congress and that was limited to only those four recipients.

PURPLE HEART STAMP AND SOME WHO EARNED IT

This past month PATRIOT BULLETIN has received several reports from alarmed Patriots that Postal Service employees had told them that printing of Purple Heart Stamps has been stopped and no attempt will be made to replenish them when supplies are exhausted. Our Unit President, Elaine Rey, took on the task of searching out the truth of the matter and says that the Postal Service reports there is a strong demand for Purple Heart Stamps and they will continue to be printed in sufficient quantities for postal facilities everywhere to be kept adequately stocked.

TEXAS PURPLE HEART TRAIL

...to be officially designated, Sept 3rd…

It is official now, the entire length of Interstate Highway 35 in Texas, from the Rio Grande to the Red River, is to be designated Texas’ own “Purple Heart Trail.” The public ceremony to make it all happen will be held in Laredo on September 3, 2005. From Chapter 1919, our Past National Commander Robert N. Lichtenberger , Chapter Commander, Fred Rey, and Unit President, Elaine Rey are scheduled to attend; as is the Department of Texas Commander, Harvey Webb.

ROTC COMMSSIONING ...At Texas State University….

On August 12th, at the campus in San Marcos, Texas State University Army ROTC conducted the 2005 Summer Commissioning Ceremony, and MOPH Chapter 1919 was invited to furnish the guest speaker. As an American institution, ROTC will be 90 years old next year and it is present today on the campuses of about 270 4-year colleges and universities. But, the program at Texas State is quite recent, dating back to 1976 when a cross enrollment program was started with the University of Texas at Austin, and it has only had its own separate cadet battalion since 1982. Upon completion of the 2005 Summer term, Texas State commissioned two more Second Lieutenants, bringing the total number of Army officers commissioned at that university to 300.

More Tributes

The new Fiscal Year has started out on a sad and tragic note for Chapter 1919, and most especially so for the James Farmer family, an extended family whose three generations of MOPH membership have constituted a mainstay of this chapter since our earliest days.

JAMES W. FARMER, SR., having survived his granddaughter by ten days, died after a long illness on August 2, 2005, at age 87. Jim was an early leader of great influence who shaped a young Chapter 1919 into what it has become today. He continued to serve as a volunteer worker until his declining health no longer permitted. Jim enlisted in 1935 as a cavalry trooper in Colonel George Patton’s 5th Cavalry Regiment at Fort Clark, Texas and he had many stories to tell us about his daily interactions with that famous American hero. He went through Cavalry Officers Candidate School at Fort Riley, Kansas just in time to serve throughout WWII as a commissioned officer in the 38th Cavalry Recon Squadron (Mechanized) in Europe. He was awarded America’s second highest decoration for valor, the Distinguished Service Cross, for an action in early Spring 1945, in which 1st Lt Farmer of B Troop, operating alone, far in advance of the troops, and armed only with his carbine, forced the surrender of 400 dispirited, retreating Germans (who nonetheless were still armed and very dangerous). At war’s end, Capt James Farmer, Commander of C Troop, provided the Honor Guard for General George Patton’s 15th Army Headquarters in Pilsen, Czechoslovakia during the many ceremonies General Patton hosted for visiting dignitaries. Jim later served in the Korean War and finally closed out his career in 1963, retiring from the ROTC Instructor Unit of the University of Texas in the grade of Lt Col. He is survived by Claudine, his wife of 64 years, daughter Carolyn Douglas, son James W. Farmer, Jr. and his wife Patsy Nelson Farmer, all of Austin; grandson James W. Farmer, III and his wife Amy of Elizabeth City, N.C., and many others. CATHERINE ELIZABETH YOUNG, or “Lisa-Cat” as he preferred to call her, the beloved granddaughter of Patriot James W. Farmer, Sr. died suddenly on July 23, 2005 at age 38. Catherine had signed up as an Associate Member before we added the Ladies Auxiliary Unit and during our early years she took on the project of providing a beautifully styled Purple Heart Birthday Card of her own personal design which Chapter 1919 (at that time) had mailed to each chapter member—and so, her work has touched the lives of many of our members. Catherine was married to Jeff Young, a musician and the lead vocalist in the popular local band, “Capitol Suspects.”
