HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY
Welcome Aboard: Marvin Hofberg (1962) ; Steve Bowers (71-73); Jimmy Mathews (65-66)
Photos: There are almost 200 Photos in the "unidentified-help with name" album on the web site. Please look and see if you recognize anyone and comment if you have any hints to help identify any of these Tigers. Many of us took photos of our buddies and co-workers at DaNang and most of the names are long forgotten. Please provide the unknown names if you can. Also, if you have photos without a name go ahead and put them on the web site in this album. Maybe someone will help identify your friend.
Paul Wayne Anthony: was killed April 8, 1970 in a rocket attack on the 6924th Security Squadron communications center at DaNang. Airman Anthony had given up his educational pursuits at UNC-Charlotte to serve our country and is the only 6924SS member listed as KIA. Several Cadets have received awards from this great program that preserves our history while providing needed assistance to young students and future Air Force officers. Generous Tigers have kept the program alive and well and your continued support of the program is appreciated. Donations are always welcome in any amount you can afford. Please help support this wonderful program that perpetuates the memory of PWA and the 6924SS. Donations to the fund are always welcome and appreciated in any amount you can afford.

Reunion Raffle prizes are piling up and tickets are going like hotcakes. Donate a prize if you can and buy a few tickets to help support the Association’s Paul Wayne Anthony ROTC Scholarship and other activities. There are some great prizes donated already by generous Tigers. No prize is too small or too big so if you can please donate a prize and also buy as many raffle tickets as you can afford. Recently donated prizes include 3 $100 bills to be raffled separately. Is that worth a $5 ticket? Thanks for your support.
Sunday Chat uses the group chat feature of our 6924th my family web site. Your Golden Beaver Award-winning host Clyde Orr is looking to chat with lots of Tigers on live CHAT every Sunday at 1900hrs Central Time. For you first term airmen that is 7:00PM, 8:00PM in the east.
6924th Hat is a great way to support the Association and let everyone come across that you are a veteran. There are many hat stories on the web site resulting from Tigers wearing their hats. Gil says, "Everyone needs a 6924th hat. That's the only way you can get "hat stories"....!!!!!". Hats are on sale for a limited time at only $10 and that includes shipping so contact Gil and get yours.
Snakes are a hot item on the web site recently as some photos have been added of recent snake encounters.Silent Auction. At the last reunion someone suggested that we have a silent auction with a quilt being the prize. The reason for the suggestion was that Jer's quilt are always a very popular item in the raffle. I asked Jer if he would donate a quilt and like always he said he would without hesitation. He got tired of waiting on me to start the auction so he began the auction with this posting. The proceeds of the silent auction will go to the 6924th. There are currently 2 quilts donated by Jer being auctioned on the web site. One is the Tiger quilt and the other is Flag Dreamin’. So if you want one of these beauties log onto the site and place your bid.
