Summary: At the last Board meeting, MAJ Trevor Burmeister spoke to the Board requesting to use the trademarked Yohan with the Army's 7203 medical support unit located in Hobart. Since the request had not been an agenda item, the Board indicated that his request would be considered as an agenda item at its next Board meeting.

Due to a prior commitment, MAJ Burmeister is not able to attend the meeting, but CPT Lislyn Massaih, representing the 7203 Medical Support Unit, will be present to review MAJ Burmeister's request to use the trademarked Yohan logo. The logo would promote connectedness with their medical support unit. The Yohan image would be utilized to signify the "Brickie Medics", and Yohan will be given the rank of Lieutenant in honor of their facility's namesake: 1LT Roper R. Peddicord who was a Hobart local and received the Silver Star after being killed in action around Sainte Mere Eglise, France on June 7, 1944 or "D-Day+1". The Yohan will appear on a unit coin, unit t-shirts, and presentations to their higher headquarters. In addition, Yohan's story will be incorporated into the unit lore. A copy of 1LT Roper's Silver Star citation is attached, as is the email from MAJ Burmeister. Board Attorney, William Longer, will be present to address any questions about the trademark usage.
