HISTORY
A committee, chaired by Jim Tilton, was formed by Commander Fred
Scherrer and the board in February 2004. The committee first
decided to divide the room into the Pacific Theater (South wall)
and the Atlantic Theater (North wall). A schedule of major events,
starting with the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941,
was developed. Pictures were obtained from the Soldiers and Sailors
Memorial Hall in Oakland and from other sources. All pictures
were framed and hung by the committee.
A TV and VCR were installed on the West side of the room. A display
case was mounted along the hallway into the Canteen. Two service
tables were added to the East side of the room. Copies of the
minutes from all committee meetings are on file in the VFW Office
and available for additional information.
