Greetings Auxiliary Sisters, Brothers, Post members and all others reading I cannot believe another year is coming to an end. I know we all took a minute to check on someone. By the time you are reading this it will be May, and everyone will be getting ready for the Convention.
I would like to thank President Phil for asking me to do Veterans and Family Support this year. Like Phil, Suicide Awareness and Prevention/Mental Health Awareness are important to me. I have to say this year took a turn from where I had planned on going and it also took on a mind of its own. Not only did I get to help share part of one of our owns story and help them to begin a new journey but also share part of my story. Let’s continue to be mindful that everyone is going through something, and it is not always shared out loud. Continue to check on one another and continue doing a great job of supporting all our Veterans. They gave so much for us, and they deserve it in return.
It has been an incredible year with all the support given to all our Veterans and Family Support programs such as National Veterans Service (NVS), Military Assistance Program (MAP), Unmet Needs, VFW “Sports Clips” Help a Hero Scholarship program, and our Women Veterans. Continue to do the great things each of you do. Even though this year’s reporting has come to an end, we have next year, and we need to continue rocking all these thing we do for veterans. Remember the new reporting year began April 1st.
Thank you for all you do for our veterans. I am excited to see everyone in June and share the outstanding things our Auxiliaries have done in supporting our Veterans this past year as we are Banding Together for Our Veterans, let us remember We Value Every Veteran! Colorado is a great place to be, we all rock!
