What's Ahead In The "Legionnaire"

TAKING THE PLEDGE
At the Department Convention in Alexandria recently, National Vice Commander Byron White addressed the attendees.  At the conclusion of his address, he read a statement of things to which we should commit ourselves.  The audience stood, raised their right hands and joined in the Pledge.  It was a very moving moment.  Responding to numerous requests for this Pledge, THE LOUISIANA LEGIONNAIRE will publish it in the forthcoming issue for your individual usage.
"BOCKS CAR"
Response to the interview with "Enola Gay" pilot Paul Tibbets in the last issue of THE LOUISIANA LEGIONNAIRE was tremendous.  As suggested by one respondent, we will follow up on this general topic by publishing the story of "Bocks Car" and her crew in the next issue.  This is the plane and crew that was responsible for ending WWII with their famous mission over Nagasaki.
