The

States Armed Forces and comfort their survivors in a patriotic nature to
promote esprit de corps for said community as listed under section 501(c)(19)
of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future

Beyond the Blue”) with the Scottish Register of Tartans. The purpose of

veterans without a tartan pattern. The tartan, once officially registered, will
be released (the thread count and color specifics) to James Ansite of the
company Sport Kilt, 2237 S. 390 W. Unit D, Heber City, UT 84032,
