After years of entering photos in the VVA National's yearly Calendar Photo Contest, Texas VVA
Chapter 1069 finally wins a photo spot in VVA National's 2021 Calendar Contest for the VVA 2022
Calendar, for the month of September! (see 2022 calendar cover in photo at left). The photos we
sent in year after year were taken from our participation in the Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall
when it came to El Campo, Texas, back in 2015. This was our chapter's finest hour of participating
in a very special event and ceremony.

For those chapter members who did not get your 2022 calendar from VVA National, you may use the links below
or click on the images to view the high resolution image, which you may then either print to your local
printer or first copy to your computer, and then print the image. Tape the two images together and
you now have a copy of the VVA Calendar 2022, month of September, ready to hang in your office and enjoy,
or keep as a rememberance of our chapter's participation in the event.
See the image at the bottom of this page that shows what it looks like when you print and then tape the

The above is a scanned image of the actual month of September taken from the 2022 calendar. And, the above calendar
image includes 3 of the many photos that were sent into the calendar contest, and of course were used in the calendar
for the month of September.
(1st photo top) Shows all our chapter's members that participated in the special ceremony.
(2nd photo left) Shows chapter member, Augie Limas, kneeling at the wall during the ceremony, placing a red rose
at the foot of the wall for the Vietnam War soldier whose name has just been called out over the PA system.
(3rd photo right) Shows some of the small white crosses that the chapter made for the ceremony.
Below is the actual text shown below the pictures in the calender...
HONOR: During a visit from The Wall that Heals, VVA Chapter 1069 holds a public memorial ceremony to honor the 28
soldiers of Wharton County, TX, who were KIA or MIA during the Vietnam War. White crosses made by Chapter members
and personalized memorial booklets were displayed for each soldier along the wall. As each soldier's name was
announced, a chapter member placed a red rose at the base of each white cross and saluted. The crosses and
memorial booklets were then presented to the family members of those honored during the ceremony.

The example image below shows how the month of September will look when you print the two images above and then
tape them together as shown. I printed this on my home printer. This is the same full size September month
page as seen in the actual calendar. Be sure when you print the above two images, you select "Landscape" and
"Fill Frame" print features. Note that we will have/bring some of these same September month printouts at the
next chapter meeting for our membership to take home.
As stated above, the photos we would send in year after year were taken from our participation in the Vietnam Memorial
Traveling Wall when it came to El Campo, Texas, back in 2015. For our new members, use the link below to read the full
report on our chapter's participation in that event. 28 of our members participated in that special ceremony along with
our chapter making the 28 small white and black crosses to be used in the ceremony and later given to the family members
of the corresponding KIA and MIA Veteran. Click on the link below to read the full report of our chapter's participation
in the special "Rose" ceremony presented at the Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall in 2015, in El Campo, Texas.

The Officers and membership of VVA Chapter 1069 would like to thank the 2021 VVA National Calendar Contest Board for
