THE REV
Sergeant Albert S. Thompson was
awarded the Silver Star for gallantry
in action. Even more significant is
the place he has won in the respect
and affection of the men of the 9th
Infantry by his kindness and faith:
Every evening when the men of his
company are free, he holds a prayer
meeting, and men going on dangerous missions are strengthened by a
few words with him and by his firm
confidence. He is affectionately called
"The Rev" by the men.
The Sergeant went to Korea with

Here he moved through a hot enemy fire and rushed through the comrades to safety.

As the Golden Gate Chapter had requested that the surplus from the San Francisco convention be used for the purchase of a headquarters building and since Chaplain Gilbert Darlington in forwarding the donation of the New York chapter of the Military Order of the World Wars stated that it was for this purpose, the sum of $5,000 was placed in a separate fund to be reserved for this purpose.
