Sometime things just work out amazingly.
We were going to have a small gathering of the Dugan Family and friends
to Remember Col. Dugan on the 50th Anniversary of him becoming MIA.

Things fell into place and we are now going to be dedicating
3 Hometown Banners for our 3 POW/MIA Berks County Brothers.
Lt. Col. Ralph Angstadt - Col. Thomas Dugan - Capt. David Pannabecker.

Join us at the Reading Regional Airport on
Thursday, December 13, 2018 at 11:00. 

As you enter the Airport look at the newly installed banners and POW/MIA Flag.
All 3 of them were Career Men in the Air Force. 
We hope you can join us,
it will be inside the airport in the Auditorium.

I personally want to thank everyone who visits this site. This site is intended to help all people, weather you are a Vietnam Veteran, or not a veteran at all, but may know a veteran and are wondering what being a veteran is all about, and want to help veterans.

This site is also made possible by the combined effort of all members of the Berks County, Pa. VVA 131. Though out the year VVA 131 hold various events to raise funds, these funds are used to help veterans, the funds are never used  to benefit VVA 131, but are used to support veteran's, and veteran activities in Berks County, and beyond.
