Message from our President…

Now that Memorial Day has passed we know that Summertime is on its way… sunny days, warm temps, and beautiful evenings! The club held three dances in May. One was our last “Sunday Series” dance of the Spring season at The Lazy Turtle Bar & Grill. Look forward to the return of our Sunday dances later this Fall on October 21st. We look forward to June and all the vacationers that plan to visit our little town who are ex-cited to be a part of the July 4th celebration. The club again this year will run and manage the shag contest held on June 30 as part of the Oak Island Beach Days celebration and the Fourth of July. Over the years a number of our club members have participated in the shag contest and have won! This year should be no exception. So put your routine together and sign up to be part of the shag contest. We have our regularly scheduled dances this month at the VFW and at the Moose Lodge, so don’t be a stranger and let’s come and dance. Don’t forget to check out our dance calendar on page 9.

Executive Committee Meeting Minutes, April 11, 2018...

PRESENT: Chuck Boney, President; John Hutton, Vice President; Cathy Myers, Secretary; Dennis Faver, Treasurer; Joe Malinowski, Membership/Newsletter The meeting was called to order at 4:28 PM by President, Chuck Boney. SECRETARY’S REPORT: Motion to approve the minutes as approved was made by Dennis Faver, seconded by John Hutton. Unanimously approved. TREASURER’S REPORT: Treasurer Dennis Faver reported that after the dispersal of funds including DJ checks, the current bal-ance is $5341.32 with $500 for the S.O.A.R. donation SOS outstanding. Cathy Myers moved that the report be approved. Joe Malinowski seconded. Unanimously approved. OLD BUSINESS:

The April Subs on the Club/S.O.A.R. Dance was successful. We had enough subs, but just barely. Next year we will or-der more.

The SOS Tailgate Party / Parade / “Free Pour” - Tailgate party was a big success thanks to Joe Malinowski. There was an incredible spread of snacks, food, and drinks.

Katy O’Neill did a fantastic job with the parade, culminating in our winning first place for the second year in a row. She reconfirmed that she will not be in charge of the parade next year, but will be available to assist. Debbie Gentry should receive a prize for her hilarious portrayal of “Granny!”

The Free Pour went smoothly with the plan we used this time, bracelets and chips. No one got a second drink until everyone had had their first.

NEW BUSINESS:

The next dance in the Sunday Series will be on May 20th with DJ Bill Anderson. It will be held at the Lazy Turtle from 1-5 PM as usual. It will be the last of the season, but we will start up again in the Fall!

The May 25th Dance was to have had a Fashion Show put on by Bloomingale’s. We are not certain that it will work out at this time.

The check for S.O.A.R. will be presented at the May 11th Dance. Chuck has been attending meetings regarding the Oak Island Day Shag Dance contest. We will not be serving food this

year. The Holiday Band will provide live music with Jim Bruno filling in as DJ during the band’s breaks. The date is June 30th. There will be a stipulation this year that the contestants must be 21 in order to participate. We need volunteers.

We have been offered the option to run the shag dance contest at the Ocean Isle Oysterfest. A discussion ensued and it was decided that we would not accept.

John Hutton will order the Uplink tickets now so that we have more time to hand them out before it’s necessary to mail them.

COMMUNICATION & MEMBERSHIP:

The Website and Facebook page are up to date. Current membership is at 213 members(173 Re-Ups + 40 New). There are 62 members from 2017 who did not re-up. Joe Malinowski recommended that we change our club membership year to the calendar year from January 1 to De-

cember 31. The current February 1 through January 31 of the following year caused confusion during Re-Up. Chuck Boney moved that we accept the suggestion; Dennis Faver seconded.

With no other business, Chuck Boney adjoined the meeting at 5:08 PM.

Next Meeting: June 6, 4:30 PM @ OKI VFW

Cathy Myers, Secretary

At our May 11th dance at the Oak Island VFW, we presented a

check for $500 S.O.A.R. Board Member, Steve Salerno to help de-

fray the costs of the services they provide to our animal friends.

The donation was a result of our S.O.A.R. fundraiser that was held

at our April 13th “S.O.A.R.” benefit dance at the OKI VFW.

S.O.A.R. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill animal rescue providing

safe shelter, medical treatment, healthy food, daily care and lots

of love to lost and abandoned dogs and cats. They are located

between Southport and Oak Island, NC.

Jeannine Friday Bicknell started S.O.A.R. in 1992. With her care,

support and love, S.O.A.R. has grown throughout the years and has placed hundreds of animals in loving homes. For more infor-

mation, please call them at (910) 457-6340 or visit their website at: http://www.soar-nc.org/

“Thank You” SOBS for your S.O.A.R. Donation...

SOBS Embroidered Logo...

I hope you have enjoyed the newsletter over the years as I try to ensure that our members have timely information of the

activities within the SOBS. Of course, the newsletter only augments the email announcements that I send to notify you of up-

coming dances and events. Since the newsletter is a monthly vehicle for club information, I also try to keep your attention with

a little bit of entertainment thru some historical and “fun facts” of the month. It’s even been enlightening for me as I research

some of the articles I have included such as the D-DAY Invasion and the Vietnam War POW/MIA Flag in this newsletter.

My intent is to continue to include those types of articles and to hopefully expand areas of interest. If there is a topic you

would like to see in the newsletter that may be of interest to our membership, just let me know at [email protected].

D-DAY, June 6, 1944… (www.history.com)

During World War II (1939-1945), the Battle of Normandy, which lasted from June 1944 to August 1944, resulted in the Allied liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control. Codenamed “Operation Overlord”, the battle began on June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day, when some 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region. The invasion was one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history and required extensive planning. Prior to D-Day, the Allies conducted a large-scale deception campaign designed to mislead the Germans about the intended invasion target. By late August 1944, all of northern France had been liberated, and by the following Spring the Allies had defeated the Germans. The Normandy landings have been called the beginning of the end of war in Europe. According to US Department of Veterans Affairs statistics, we are losing 372 veterans per day

and only 620,000 of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II were alive in 2016.

Preparing for D-Day

After World War II began, Germany invaded and occupied northwestern France beginning in May 1940. The Americans en-tered the war in December 1941, and by 1942 they and the British (who had been evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk in May 1940 after being cut off by the Germans in the Battle of France) were considering the possibility of a major Allied invasion across the English Channel. The following year, Allied plans for a cross-Channel invasion began to ramp up. In November 1943, Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), who was aware of the threat of an invasion along France’s northern coast, put Erwin Rommel (1891-1944) in charge of spearheading defense operations in the region, even though the Germans did not know exactly where the Allies would strike. Hitler charged Rommel with finishing the Atlantic Wall, a 2,400-mile fortification of bunkers, landmines and beach and water obstacles.

In January 1944, General Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969) was appointed commander of Operation Overlord. In the months and weeks before D-Day, the Allies carried out a massive deception operation intended to make the Germans think the main invasion target was Pas-de-Calais (the narrowest point between Britain and France) rather than Normandy. In addition, they led the Germans to believe that Norway and other locations were also potential invasion targets. Many tactics was used to carry out the deception, including fake equipment; a phantom army commanded by George Patton and supposedly based in England, across from Pas-de-Calais; double agents; and fraudulent radio transmissions.

A Weather Delay: June 5, 1944

Eisenhower selected June 5, 1944, as the date for the invasion; however, bad weather on the days leading up to the operation caused it to be delayed for 24 hours. On the morning of June 5, after his meteorologist predicted improved conditions for the following day, Eisenhower gave the go-ahead for Operation Overlord. He told the troops: “You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you.” Later that day, more than 5,000 ships and landing craft carrying troops and supplies left England for the trip across the Channel to France, while more than 11,000 aircraft were mobilized to provide air cover and support for the invasion.

D-Day Landings: June 6, 1944

By dawn on June 6, thousands of paratroopers and glider troops were already on the ground behind enemy lines, securing bridges and exit roads. The amphibious invasions began at 6:30 AM. The British and Canadians overcame light opposition to capture beaches codenamed Gold, Juno and Sword, as did the Americans at Utah Beach. U.S. forces faced heavy resistance at Omaha Beach, where there were over 2,000 American casualties. However, by day’s end, approximately 156,000 Allied troops had successfully stormed Normandy’s beaches. According to some estimates, more than 4,000 Allied troops lost their lives in the D-Day invasion, with thousands more wounded or missing. Less than a week later, on June 11, the beaches were fully se-cured and over 326,000 troops, more than 50,000 vehicles and some 100,000 tons of equipment had landed at Normandy.

For their part, the Germans suffered from confusion in the ranks and the absence of celebrated commander Rommel, who was away on leave. At first, Hitler, believing the invasion was a feint designed to distract the Germans from a coming attack north of the Seine River, refused to release nearby divisions to join the counterattack. Reinforcements had to be called from further afield, causing delays. Moreover, the Germans were hampered by effective Allied air support, which took out many key bridg-es and forced the Germans to take long detours.

The Allies fought their way across the Normandy countryside in the face of determined German resistance, as well as a dense landscape of marshes and hedgerows. By the end of June, the Allies had seized the vital port of Cherbourg, landed approxi-mately 850,000 men and 150,000 vehicles in Normandy, and were poised to continue their march across France.

The Vietnam War POW/MIA Flag… (www.usflag.org)

In 1971, Mrs. Mary Hoff, an MIA wife and member of the National League of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia, recognized the need for a symbol of our POW/MIAs. Prompted by an article in the Jacksonville, FL, TIMES-UNION, Mrs. Hoff contacted Norman Rivkees, Vice-President of Annin & Company which had made a banner for the newest member of the United Nations, the People's Republic of China, as a part of their

policy to provide flags to all UN member nations. Mrs. Hoff found Mr. Rivkees very sympathetic to the POW/MIA issue, and he, along with Annin's advertising agency, designed a flag to represent our missing men. Following League approval, the flags were manufactured for distribution.

The flag is black, bearing in the center, in black and white, the emblem of the League. The emblem is a white disk bearing in black silhouette the bust of a man, watch tower with a guard holding a rifle, and a strand of barbed wire; above the disk are the white letters POW and MIA framing a white 5-pointed star; below the disk is a black and white wreath above the white motto YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.

Concerned groups and individuals have altered the original POW/MIA Flag many times; the colors have been switched from black with white - to red, white and blue, -to white with black; the POW/MIA has at times been revised to MIA/POW. Such changes, however, are insignificant. The importance lies in the continued visibility of the symbol, a constant reminder of the plight of America's POW/MIA'S.

On March 9, 1989, a POW/MIA Flag, that flew over the White House on the 1988 National POW/MIA Recognition Day, was installed in the United States Capitol Rotunda as a result of legislation passed overwhelmingly during the 100th session of Con-gress. The leadership of both Houses hosted the installation ceremony in a demonstration of bipartisan congressional support. This POW/MIA Flag, the only flag displayed in the United States Capitol Rotunda, stands as a powerful symbol of our national commitment to our POW/MIAs until the fullest possible accounting for Americans still missing in Southeast Asia has been achieved.

With the passage of Section 1082 of the 1998 Defense Authorization Act during the first term of the 105th Congress, the POW/MIA flag was specified to fly each year on:

Armed Forces Day—Third Saturday in May

Memorial Day—Last Monday in May

Flag Day—June 14

Independence Day—July 4

National POW/MIA Recognition Day—Third Friday in September

Veterans Day—November 11

The POW/MIA flag will be flown on the grounds or the public lobbies of major military installations as designated by the U.S. Secretary of Defense, all Federal National Cemeteries, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the White House, the United States Post Offices and at official offices of the Secretaries of State, Defense and Veterans Affairs, and Director of the Selective Service System. Civilians are free to fly the POW/MIA flag whenever they wish.

In the U.S. Armed Forces, the dining halls, mess halls and chow halls display a single table and chair in a corner draped with the POW-MIA flag as a symbol for the missing, thus reserving a chair in hopes of their return. (NOTE: this is also done at OKI VFW) Other color patterns exist: the orange and black pattern was run by Outpost Flags at the time of Harley Davidson's 100th anni-versary, so that the bikers would help keep the issue alive and in the forefront of American politics. There are red and white versions, which some say are to cover more recent military actions, but this is not official policy. There are black and red ver-sions available as well.

When displayed from a single flagpole, the POW/MIA flag should fly directly below, and be no larger than, the United States flag (Civilian or on congressionally designated days). For U.S. government agencies under a Chain of Command the U.S. Flag Code has a complete order of precedence that mirrors Army Regulations 840-10 specifically 840-10 2-2.c. If on separate poles, the U.S. flag should always be placed to the right of other flags (the viewer's left; the flag's own right). On the six national ob-servances for which Congress has ordered display of the POW/MIA flag, it is generally flown immediately below or adjacent to the United States flag as second in order of precedence.
