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.
