ONE NATION UNDER GOD

 

The One Nation Under God Luncheon honoring veterans and military personnel was held November 13 at Sweetwater Country Club. The event was hosted by the Fort Bend Exchange Club and Exchangites from the Quail Valley, Memorial, 1960, and Sugar Land clubs were also in attendance. Chayo Huff served as the facilitator as Father Don Schwarting from Sacred Heart Parish delivered the Invocation. Before Mr. Rick Miller, key note speaker, addressed the group, Ray Wathen recited a poem he had written entitled "One Nation Under God". Following Mr. Miller's address, all veterans and military personnel present were individually recognized. The program ended as Stephen Longoria led the group in the Exchange Covenant of Service and Lucy Smith sang "America the Beautiful".

One Nation Under God, designated in November, is a special time of the year when Exchangites join together to increase public appreciation of the important roles religious faith and freedom have played in our nation's history.
