This presentation will give examples of clandestine operations under England’s SOE, America’s OSS, the joint Norwegian-American Special Operations or NORSO, and the Jedburgh program in France. During David's narration a number of archival photographs will be shown. One such clandestine organization was codenamed "Carpetbaggers". We visit a mountain top Carpetbagger plane crash of September, 1944 on Skorve Mountain near Seljord".

Family members served in WW2 both in Europe and the Far East David's introduction to the study of military science and tactics came while attending Western Military Academy followed by his service in the U.S. Army from 1955-1958.

PROGRAM: Dr. Ralph Haug - "The New Foundation Board"

Today's program will discuss the new Sons of Norway Foundation board, why it was created, and what the goals are for the near future and distant future. In addition, we will have an update on the status of donations to the foundation and projects that the foundation has currently underway. At the conclusion of his presentation Dr. Haug will be glad to answer questions regarding the Foundation.
Dr. Haug has held leadership positions in the Norwegian National League of Chicago, Norwood Crossing, Torske Klub, Skjold Building Society and Skjold Lodge.
Previously we have had a separate “Foundation Night” with a banquet at a restaurant.

Please bring a dish for others to share.
