SUMMARY:January 7 Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe first untethered hot air balloon lifted off in 1783 followed by the first woman to fly in it the next year.  Aviation itself\, flying an airplane\, does not necessarily discriminate with the pilot at the controls.  The first woman to receive her pilot’s license was Raymonde de Laroche in 1911 just 8 years after the Wright Brother’s proved sustained flight was possible.  While women have always been involved with aviation\, it took several decades before they were allowed by law to fly anything in the military inventory.  In recent history\, women now fly and served in all aircraft in military service.  This is the story of Three Generations of Women Military Aviators.

SUMMARY:Memorial Service for Rollie Stevens
DESCRIPTION:Rollin “Rollie” M. Stevens II\nNovember 25\, 1934 – October 25\, 2024\n\n \n\n\nIN THE CARE OF\n\nTed Dickey West Funeral Home\n\n\n\n\nCAPT Rollin “Rollie” M. Stevens II of Dallas\, Texas\, passed away on October 25\, 2024. He was 89 years old\, one month to the day shy of his 90th birthday. Rollie was born in Des Moines\, Iowa to parents Rollin and Cora Mae. He graduated from East High School in Des Moines in 1953\, and went on to the University of Iowa where he graduated with a B.S. in Science in 1957. On May 17\, 1958\, he married Jean Ann Olson of Kanawha\, Iowa\, and they remained married for 66 years. \nRollie joined the Navy in 1957 and was on active duty for 7 years\, deploying on the USS Ticonderoga aircraft carrier. He remained in the Navy for more than 30 years in the Navy Reserves\, spending a weekend each month and two weeks each year on various duty details. \nAfter his active duty in the Navy\, Rollie began his career in sales with American Hospital Supply Corporation\, which was later acquired by Baxter. His area of expertise was in the hospital clinical laboratory where he sold instruments and their supplies. \nAfter retiring from Baxter\, Rollie was actively involved in civic duties including his membership in the Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW) where he was the national Commander in Chief in 2002\, a member of his home owners’ association where he was president\, and a volunteer at Medical City Denton Hospital\, helping rehabilitation patients. \nThroughout his entire life\, he was always a member of his church choir and loved to sing\, making many life-long friends along the way. He enjoyed early morning coffees with Jean on his back porch overlooking Lewisville Lake\, declaring “a Navy man lives by the water”. He also loved his favorite sports teams including the Dallas Cowboys\, Texas Rangers\, Iowa Hawkeyes\, and even the local Lake Highlands High School where all of his children graduated. \nHe is survived by Jean\, his wife\, his daughter Kyle Vandeven (John)\, son Jeff Stevens (Stanna)\, daughter Kim Stevens\, three grandchildren Andrea Stevens\, Samantha Stevens\, Joshua Stevens\, and two sisters Nan Keith and Shari DeCook of Iowa. \nRollie will be interred at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery. A memorial service will be held on Saturday\, November 23\, at 2:00pm at King of Glory Lutheran Church\, 6411 LBJ Freeway\, Dallas\, TX 75240. \nTo leave an online condolence to the family\, please visit our website www.teddickeywestfuneral.com

DESCRIPTION:Description\nWorld War II pilot John Luckadoo during basic flight training at Shaw Field in Sumter\, SC. (Macmillan) \nMilitary.com | By James Barber  Published April 04\, 2022 \n\nBorn and raised on Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga\, TN in 1922\, Lucky attended public schools where he participated in the R.O.T.C. while in Chattanooga High School. He later attended the University of Chattanooga and enlisted in the U.S.Army Air Corps as an Aviation Cadet while in his sophomore year soon after Pearl Harbor. \nGraduating from twin-engine flight school in February\, 1943 along with 40 of his classmates he was immediately assigned to the 100th Bomb Group\, a B-17 Bomb Group as co-pilots just prior to being sent overseas to England with the 8th Air Force. As one of the early U.S. Bomber Groups in England\, and without fighter escort and due to it’s initial heavy losses\, quickly became known as “the Bloody Hundredth”. Serving as a Pilot and later as a Squadron Operations Officer\, he was one of only 4 of his original classmates to survive 25 combats missions. \nEarning the Distinguished Flying Cross\, the Air Medal with 3 oak leaf clusters\, the European Victory Medal\, two Presidential Unit Citations\, he was also awarded the French Legion of Honor for his World War II service. \nFor the past 25 years he has discussed his wartime experiences with various groups and organizations\, as well as elementary school students and Air Force Academy cadets to ensure that they are well aware of the sacrifices made by his generation for the freedoms we all enjoy today\, and most recently had his Bloody Hundredth Bomb Group memorialized in the epic documentary called “Masters of the Air”. \nHaving recently celebrated his 102nd birthday\, he is the only remaining pilot of the original 100th Bomb Group.

SUMMARY:Military History Book Club March 14\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Description\nMISSION COMMAND IN THE ISRAEL DFENSE FORCE is an official AUSA Book Program title. \n  \nWe meet at Prestonwood CC\, 15909 Preston Road\, Dallas\, TX. Please arrive by 7:30 a.m. to order from the menu.  Breakfast is $15.  Discussion starts at 7:30 and ends at 9:00.  \nThe discussion will be moderated by Bob Epstein\, Texas Guard\, 19th Military Police Brigade \nThe Israel Defense Force have relied on mission command since their foundation. This essay collection explores Israel’s military strategy through the understanding of mission command and its relation to command and control. MISSION COMMAND IN THE ISRAEL DFENSE FORCE provides real-world scenarios that used mission command-written by the acting officers themselves. \nThe dictionary definition of “command” discusses “authority\,” however\, the idea of “command” is much more complex. Command can only exist when other people carry out the instructions issued by a commander. Military command generally focuses on a mission with clearly defined objectives that must be achieved through coordinated activities. Because the commander is responsible for achieving those goals\, command also involves responsibility. In the last decade\, the “mission command” method has become a popular mantra or buzzword. Preparing an army for war is a process that takes many years. It involves building the force and developing and training officers and soldiers for battle. Each army does so according to its own heritage and culture. Like any other army\, the I.D.F. has dealt with mission command over the years in its own unique way. This volume will demonstrate how\, for the I.D.F.\, mission command is not merely a technique\, but a culture. \nBrig. General (Ret.) Gideon Avidor joined the I.D.F. Armored Corps in 1957.  He participated in the Six-Day War as Tank Brigade G3; in the Yom Kippur war\, he was the 252nd Division G3. During the Second Lebanon War\, he was the Chief Armored Officer. He also commanded the School of Armor\, was the DY Armor Corps Commander and the Israeli Defense Attaché.   He graduated from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and the I.D.F. National Defense College.  \n \nRSVP to Bob Epstein @ macabee1948@gmail.com
