A special invitation has been extended to our Belgian friends, the Diggers - J.P. Speder, J.L. Seel, Marc Marique and Jean-Luc Menestrey - and Marcel and Mathilde Schmetz, to attend the final 99th Infantry Division convention in 2011.

As in the past, the Diggers Fund will be used to pay their travel expenses to Overland Park/Kansas City.

However, with the skyrocketing cost of airline tickets, there is not enough in the fund to cover all expenses.

Donations may be sent to The Diggers Fund, PO Box 99, Marion KS 66861.
