We are asking everyone to share who we are and what support that Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV) is providing via WFL. If you know someone who is a veteran, first responder or a family member/caregiver, please ask them to join us for at least one meeting so they can learn more about what we do and how they can share their wisdom with others who may be able to learn from them.
TONIGHT's Topic: "Wisdom from Wally!"
"Believe it or not, on this date over a hundred years ago in 1923 was born one of our most decorated astronauts, Wally Schirra. Wally was born in New Jersey and spent his early years learning valuable skills as a First Class Boy Scout and later in the ROTC program at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. After the attack of Pearl Harbor in 1941, Wally Schirra decided to enter the Naval Academy and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in 3 years under the wartime accelerated degree program.
Schirra's wartime experiences as well as his extensive astronaut achievements after his military service gave him a wealth of wisdom which he shared with the world, even to this day, almost 20 years after his death. What contributions did Wally Schirra give to the world? What wisdom did he have to share?"
