joomplu:2568Joe and Mitch with Speaker Nissen DavisThe May dinner meeting was the last DAF dinner meeting at Los Verdes Country Club (beginning in June, our meetings will be held at Palos Verdes Country Club).  The presentation was by Nissen Davis who, alarmed by the high suicide rate among active and recently-discharged veterans, helped organize two inspirational tours among military bases in Europe and the Middle East.  The first group was headed by astronauts Neal Armstrong, Jim Lovell and Gene Cernan; the second included celebrities from the racing world including Mario Andretti.  Attendance at all of the tour stops was standing room only, and seeing the conditions in which our military live and work reminded everyone of the enormous sacrifices these men and women make every day.
