UPCOMING EVENT NOTICE
North Georgia Veterans Celebrate Veterans Day
11am - Monday, 11 November 2019
Big Canoe Chapel
The North Georgia Veterans (NGV) will present a program Veterans Day, Monday, November, 11th, 11 a.m., at the Chapel. There will be a service medley sung by the NGV chorus and a speech honoring all veterans by our very own Lieutenant David Howe.
Lt. Howe is a 1967 graduate of St. Lawrence University (Canton, NY - BA) and a 1969 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School (Philadelphia - MBA). He entered Naval Officer Candidate School at Newport RI in April 1969.
Upon graduation from Navy Supply Corp School in Athens GA, Howe headed to San Diego for independent Supply Officer duty on the USS GURKE (DD-783), a Gearing class FRAM-II destroyer staffed by 385 officers and crew. He was in charge of all food service, cash management, payroll, ship’s services, and critical parts inventories. GURKE deployed in May 1970 for the Philippines and Vietnam.
Among its actions in the war zone, GURKE accompanied the aircraft carrier USS SHANGRI LA (CVA-38), one of the carrier bases for air combat operations over North Vietnam. GURKE also conducted search-and-rescue in the North China Sea off Haiphong, North Vietnam. Additionally, the ship engaged in patrol and interdiction of weapons smugglers up and down the South Vietnamese coast. GURKE provided frequent gunfire support from coastal waters for military operations ashore. The ship received periodic fuel and ship’s stores replenishments both underway and at the Subic Bay Naval Base, Philippines.
Upon completion of service, Howe began a business career with an emphasis on small company finance and venture capital. In 1980, he founded Peachtree Capital Corporation, an SBIC. An in-depth focus on the payment systems sector later on led Howe in 1989 to join the startup team of Lynk Systems, Inc., an Atlanta-based electronic merchant processor specializing in ATM, debit and credit card payment transactions. The venture-funded company grew into the top tier of U.S. merchant processors and in 2004 was acquired by the Royal Bank of Scotland, after which Howe retired as Senior VP-Finance.
In recent years, Howe has been active in support of veterans. With Veterans Airlift Command, an organization of volunteer private pilots, Howe provided free air transportation for veterans wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan to distant medical facilities for specialized care. He was also on the board of Vets Help Vets, which renovated residential housing for veteran patients at the Shepherd Center (Atlanta). Through the SHARE program at Shepherd, veterans receive treatment for traumatic brain injury and PTSD. Howe also served three years on the Shepherd Center Advisory Committee.
Howe is an active member of the North Georgia Veterans. He is an active volunteer in the Big Canoe community, where he has lived with his wife Peggy since 2008.
Music will be provided by our own NGV Choral Group.
Uniform of the day is casual, unless you are part of the program in which case you should wearyour NGV uniform.
Please plan to arrive no later than 1045 hours, so we can begin on time. No need for any registration, justcome.
Invite your friends and neighbors to help acknowledge those who have and continue to serve our Country.
