6 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2017 DAR to host talk from married war veterans The Oregon Dunes chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) will resume their meeting year with a program by local veter- ans Terri and Charlie Pennington on Friday, Sept. 22. The Pennington’s met in the army, married, and after a year of separate assignments were reunited in South Korea after Charlie completed a year in Vietnam. Little did they know they would become an important part of history. On Jan. 23, 1968, the USS Pueblo was seized by North Korea. Eighty-three American sailors were captured and tor- tured. Eleven months later, 82 sur- viving crewmembers and one body were bussed down to the border crossing at the Bridge of No Return on Dec. 23, 1968. The surviving crewmen walked one by one across the bridge at Services Corps helicopter pilot, returned the caskets of those who didn’t survive. The public is invited to hear about the Pennington’s extraor- dinary story, as they talk about their involvement in this timely part of American history. The meeting will be held at the New Life Lutheran Church, located at 2100 Spruce St. Call Karen Childs at 541- 999-7154 for the start time. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, reli- gion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for DAR membership.
