🇺🇸 April 9th, 2024: National Former POW Recognition Day 🇺🇸
Today, we stand in awe of our nation’s heroes, who exemplify resilience in the face of adversity. These brave men and women endured unimaginable hardships and separation from their loved ones during their captivity, yet their unwavering spirit and faith never faltered. Today, let us honor their extraordinary courage and sacrifice.
ODRG proudly commemorates Colonel Joseph William Kittinger II (July 27, 1928 – December 9, 2022), a distinguished officer in the United States Air Force (USAF), celebrated for his exceptional service and bravery. Among his numerous honors and awards were two Silver Stars, two Legion of Merit awards, six Distinguished Flying Crosses, three Bronze Stars for Valor, two Purple Hearts, the Meritorious Service Medal, and the Prisoner of War Medal.
Today, we pay tribute to his enduring legacy and the sacrifices of all former POWs.
So saddened to hear that Terry Kirkman, founding member of the Association, passed on 9/23.
The famous song “Cherish” was composed by him and was one of the major hits for the Association. He also composed “Everything that Touches You”, “Enter the Young” and “Six Man Band.”
Another Kirkman composition, “Requiem for the Masses” showcased the many talents of Kirkman as composer and the group. It is far from a typical 60’s rock song, filled with meaning, amazing harmony and orchestration. A famous performance of this piece was on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1967. If you haven’t heard it, here is a link:
I had several people inquiring about the additional repeaters that are available to the club. So rather than a bunch of emails, I decided to list them all here!

Use This Hidden Trick to Quickly Copy and Paste Between Your iPhone and iPad
Use Apple’s universal clipboard to move videos, photos and more between your mobile devices.

Apple’s ecosystem allows you to easily work on your smartphone and then move to another device, like your tablet, and pick up where you left off. Whether you’re browsing the internet, making a payment online, sketching a drawing or texting your friends, you can use a feature known as Continuity, which seamlessly connects all your Apple devices.
One of Continuity’s best tools is the universal clipboard. With the universal clipboard, you can copy a photo, video or link on your iPhone and then hop over to your iPad or MacBook and paste it without any issues. If you’re already familiar with the tool, you know how useful it is. But we can also tell you about a hidden gesture that makes the universal clipboard much easier to use.

Are your devices compatible with Continuity?
For Continuity to work on your Apple products, each device must meet the following requirements:
Logged in to the same iCloud account
Connected to the same Wi-Fi network
Bluetooth and Handoff must be enabled
Also, while the universal clipboard feature works on most Apple devices, for this guide I’ll focus just on touchscreen devices, which use pinch gestures with Continuity, so this would only be for compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models running at least iOS 10.
Use pinch gestures to easily copy and paste between your iPhone and iPad
There are several ways to copy and paste with the universal clipboard feature, but the quickest way to do it is with pinch gestures:
Copy: Pinch in with three fingers
Paste: Pinch out with three fingers
The best way to use this feature is with pictures and videos in the Photos app. Let’s say you want to copy and paste a photo from your iPhone to your iPad. All you need to do is open the Photos app on your iPhone, find the photo you want to migrate and then pinch in with three fingers to copy it to your clipboard. To then move the photo over to your other device, open the iPad, go into an app like Notes or Messages and pinch out with three fingers to paste the photo. Below you can see the feature in action.
You can do the same with links and text, but they would both need to be highlighted before using the pinch gestures to copy them to your clipboard and move them over to another device.
