Members of the.......
PERSIAN GULF COMMAND VETERANS ORGANIZATION
held their 60th ANNUAL NATIONAL CONVENTION in Danville, PA on July 18-22, 2007. During the general membership meeting held on July 21, 2007, the membership in attendance, in accordance with the organization by-laws, unanimously voted to discontinue the annual conventions of the organization and formally disband. Therefore, the organization is no longer accepting new members and there are no current membership listings available.
This website will continue to be maintained with information and stories from the men and women who served in Iran during World War II.
Please be patient with us as we continue to add information about this
"SECRET MISSION" which involved hauling supplies to the Russians via the Persian Corridor during WWII, and the men and women who made it all happen.
INQUIRIES:
