CLMWWW 40th Family Reunion Anniversary

Kingsmill Resort, Williamsburg, VA

August 6, 2023

We remembered our family military members past and present. Led by cousins Detrel Howell, Valerie Braxton, and Larry Woodson, the highlights were Detrel’s personal views of her military career, the rendering of citations/pins to Vietnam era veterans, and pins to family members who served. Another highlight was the presence of retired Lieutenant Colonel Richard T. Forchion and active-duty Lieutenant Colonels Jeurney K. Meekins and Harold K. Watson, II. Prayerful fellowship was warmly delivered by Rev. Dr. Vicki L. Crowder. Her “Meekins” background made her message more personal and touched many hearts.
