Supreme Knight, Carl AndersonSupreme Knight's Open Letter to Senator Biden
posted September 20, 2008

In an open letter to U.S. Sen. Joe Biden published Friday in several major newspapers, Supreme Knight Carl Anderson challenged Biden's assertion that Catholic teaching on abortion was not clear. He appealed to Biden "as a Catholic who acknowledges that life begins at conception," to protect the inalienable right to life. View the letter
Free Ride To WWII Memorial for Veterans and Spouses
posted July 4, 2008

World War II Memorial The WWII Memorial is difficult to reach -- especially if you (or your spouse) are old enough to have served in WWII. No Metro trains or buses stop close-by. No parking area.

Enter brother Mike McMorrow. If you are a WWII vet, or the spouse of a WWII Vet, and need a ride directly to and from YOUR Memorial, contact Mike to arrange a day and time. He takes you there, leaves for up to an hour, and returns for pick-up. Entire trip takes 1.5 - 2.0 hours.

Contact: m.j.mcmorrow@verizon.net; or (703) 241-0894.

UPDATE: Mike's good work gets a write-up in the Herald! Read the Article

United States of America Please keep in your prayers our nation's veterans, many from our own Council, who have served and continue to serve.
