Seattle, United States—Twenty-six Ambassadors for Peace and guests gathered at the Windermere House in Seattle on April 23, 2015 to hear a speaker, network, and share an excellent meal together.
Mr. Ray McCready, secretary general, Ambassadors for Peace in Washington State, shared some updates on the Ambassadors for Peace Association Washington State. He introduced the UPF-USA website, its main sections, and how to navigate through it. He also talked about the history of their programs and calendar of activities for 2015.
Mr. McCready then invited a new guest, US Navy veteran Mr. Roosevelt Ward. Mr. Ward, who has worked as a National Veterans Service Officer providing help and benefits assistance to veterans for the past twelve years, was presented with a “Thank You Medal” for his service to our country.
He spoke briefly about his service, and was gratified by the recognition. He then pledged to continue his efforts for veterans.
