Happy New Year. Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays.
A BIG thank you on behalf of all the Veterans you served during this past festive season.
Many divisions and clubs have sent reports on how they honored our veterans. Nice Job!!
Now it’s January, the parties are over, the decorations are put away, the toys are cast aside and everything is back to normal.
Unfortunately that also includes the disabled veteran, the homeless veteran, the veterans in hospitals and nursing homes.  
The same veteran we served and helped during the holiday season. The men and woman who served for us, and in many cases lost their limbs or returned with physical problems.
January does not stop their need for our help.
It would be great if every club could started a Veterans Committee and continue serving our heroes throughout the year. If not every club at least try for a committee in each division.
What a great way to show our appreciation for our veterans.
Remember Freedom is not Free. Our Veterans saw to that.
