Included in the visit was a Staff Ride through the battle field at Gettysburg, a
tour of the Pentagon, briefings at National Guard Bureau, a visit to the Holocaust
Museum, and a tour of the National Guard Museum at the NGAUS headquarters.
On the evening of the 13^th, the officers were honored wih a social at NGAUS
where seven of our nine Congressional representatives and our two Senators
spoke to the Officers and NCOs.

The highlight of the visit was an invitation to attend a Barbeque Dinner at the
home of the Chief, National Guard Bureau, General and Mrs. Craig McKinley.
We appreciate their hospitality. It is a wonderful experience to be invited to
the General's home and be presented his “4-Star coin.” Just ask any of those
who attended.

Naturally, the Tennessee Members are in Orange.
