At the end of the meeting Compatriots Paul Wilke and Brad Jarard presented discussions on uniforms.

He also discussed the way that we may be asked to lineup at National events. Compatriot Jarard’s presentation discussed uniforms and hunting frocks. He gave several pointers to resources to assist in finding out what your ancestor may have worn. Both did a great job.
