HELP BRING RECOGNITION TO OPERATION WHITECOAT VETERANS

Attention men who served in Operation Whitecoat, and their families. Over 2,300 Seventh-day Adventist volunteers who were conscientious objectors served in this 19-year research program. There is a project in the works that will place a sign along a highway in the state of Oregon honoring the brave contribution of those who served in Operation Whitecoat. Your help is needed to make this a reality, however. Not through monies, but by promotion and awareness of the history of this time in our history. If you served, or know someone who did, please call or email Jack Fiske at 971/273-8111 or at jfiske@wvi.com.
