Cowboy Capital Gazette

Sometimes we have things happening with one of our Chorus members, which no one seems to know about. This is exactly what happened this past year with Ed Wallin ( Baritone).

Way to Go, Edward L. Wallin. The Cowboy Capital Chorus of Ogallala, NE would like to congratulate you for receiving "All State Commander" and "All Americas Commander" for the year of 2008-2009, Post 1504. You have been one busy man.

Ed would not have received these awards without a lot of help from the members of the Post and various other people.

Ed joined the US Navy reserve in March of 1965. He went active in July of 1965, took Boot Camp in San Diego, CA, and served in TACRON 13.

His rate in the squadron was YEOMAN ( Ships Clerk) and made E-4 (Third Class Petty Officer) in October, 1966.
