What Did You Miss?

Guest speaker Milt Ford provided an inspirational presentation on military records in honor of our PebbleCreek veterans. He is a speaker/instructor at the LDS Mesa Temple, and we were honored to have him join us. The tips and tricks presenter, Jayne Parise, reviewed the VA Locator site to assist anyone researching veterans that may have been buried under the oversight of the U.S. Government, here and abroad.
