We've been invited to the 23rd annual Philippine Scout Heritage Society reunion to serve as honor guards. Thanks to Art Garcia of Tacoma, Washington for thinking of us. I have not met him in person, only through email. You guys have met him at the last Fort MacArthur Days event.

The reunion will be in Tacoma, Washington on May 18th-19th, 2007. Details are still sketchy and I'm trying to find out more. However below is the email I received as forwarded to me by Art. It was addressed to Ray.
Dear Mr. Ortega:
I am Jose "Joe" Calugas, Jr. , President of the Philippine Scouts Heritage Society in Tacoma, WA. Your name and e-mail address was sent to me by e-mail by Mr. Arturo Garcia. I am inviting you and your group to attend the 23rd National Annual Reunion of the Philippine Scouts Heritage Society (PSHS) in Tacoma, WA. on May 18-19, 2007.
I am inviting your group to be a color guard to the Reunion. Mr. Arturo Garcia will provide food and lodging.
for your information our organization has a website: www.philippine-scouts.org.
Thank you and hope to hear form you.
Jose ' Joe" calugas, Jr.
PSHS Chapter President.
While this will be tough for my own schedule, I am really very grateful for the invitation and will try my best to attend alongside you guys there in the West Coast.
It is an excellent opportunity to honor the real Philippine Scouts, the veterans we hold with such high respect. They are dwindling in number and this is an opportunity for us to let them know that their legacy lives on; that there are people like us who appreciate their sacrifices and will keep the memory alive in our own little ways.
What do you guys think?
Victor
