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.
