Swamp Fox World War II Submarine Veterans Hold Luncheon In Summerville
Four World War II Charleston Base SUBVETS members attended the bi-monthly luncheon at Ryan's in Summerville. Shown in the pictures above,
clockwise from top left are: Lee Allison, Willie Jones, Stacy Power and Abel Jenkins. Also in attendance were 30 Charleston Base members
and spouses.
Lee Allison made a passionate plea for the removal and restoration of the Amberjack Memorial that is at White Point Gardens at
Charleston's Battery. Allison would like to see the memorial moved to the Cold War Memorial Park in Mount Pleasant, SC where it would be
more visible and more likely to be properly maintained. If you're interested in giving Lee a hand at this worthwhile effort, send him an email at:
