Correction:
A story on the USO in the Spring 2014 issue
(page 17) should have referred to the U.S.
Army's 1st Infantry Division as "the famous
Big Red One."
On July 1, the NSSAR fnalized the sale of its Fourth Street headquarters in Louisville to
Simmons College of Kentucky. Representing the SAR were President General Joseph W.
Dooley, Secretary General Lindsey C. Brock and Executive Director Don Shaw.
