The Coalition of Veterans Organizations (CVO) will meet this Saturday, February 16th from 10 AM to 12:30 PM at the Montford Point Marine Association, 7011 S Vincennes in Chicago.

We’ll be celebrating African American History Month by hearing from two Original Montford Pointers—Mr. James Reynolds and Mr. Stanley Porter—speaking on their history as original African American Marines when the services were still segregated. Be sure to come and hear their impressive stories. Both are recipients of the Congressional Gold Medal for their contributions to the Marine Corps and desegregation.

We will also discuss the upcoming fundraiser in April.

As always, coffee and donuts will be served!
