Wounded Warriorsin our Hearts

Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Isac Blount spent Father’s Day with his daughter back in native Wisconsin.

Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Chris Van Etten was featured on the Hoda and Kathie Lee Show. Chris is part of Jockey’s new “Show ‘em What’s Underneath” Campaign.

Old Mission Rotary has been host-ing Wounded Warrior Dinners on the last Thursday of every month for the past five years at the San Diego Naval Medical Center. Dur-ing the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan we met many seriously wounded Marines and Sailors. Old Mission has main-tained contact with Wounded War-riors who are out of the service but living locally. Two of our Wounded Warriors regularly attend Old Mis-sion Rotary events and are part of our Rotary family.Isaac Blount lost both legs, part of his left hand and his left eye to an IED ambush. Isaac was featured on 60 Minutes when he climbed the highest mountain in Australia, Mount Kosciuszco, with the He-roes Project.Chris Van Etten lost his legs in an IED attack. Today, he is a model for the Jockey "Show 'em What's Underneath" campaign and has been featured in People Magazine and on television.Sadly, one of our wounded war-riors, Artem Luzukin, could not adjust to post war life and took his own life.Special thanks to Hugh Kramer and his dedicated team who prepares, serves and cleans up the dinners month after month!

Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Artem Luzukin spoke with Old Mission Rotarian, Larry Edwards, who was a Marine Corps Vietnam combat veteran. Sadly, Artem took his own life. Old Mission Rotary is working hard to support local Wounded Warriors after there sepa-ration from the military.

Board of Directors Convention of States

(L-R) Club Secretary Marv Love, Bob Chalfa and Membership Chair Larry Edwards.

Executive Secretary Stan Vogelsang

Public Relations Chair, Matt Risi, is either scanning local print media for references to Old Mission Ro-tary.or checking the box scores.

Article V of the US Constitution allows states to convene a Conven-tion of States. Activists who wish to curb the power of the Federal Government see this as a way to amend the Constitution without the participation of Congress. The con-vention would be established and run by state legislators. Our speaker explained that reasons to change the Constitution with this unprecedent-ed tactic was to curb the power of the Federal Government and return power to the individual states. One wonders if shells will be falling again on Fort Sumter!
