Words from the Commander

As this year progresses through the second half one begins to reflect on the accomplishments achieved within our Department.  It really warms one’s spirit and provides a much needed motivating boost, which we need to maintain the momentum into the next year.   As we look around we pretty much see the same faces contributing to these achievements. In some cases some of the faces we counted on are no longer there.  Some have had less time to dedicate themselves due to work and personal reasons.  Unfortunately for some they have reached the point of burn out and have drifted away.  What is the solution?  One solution is asking and inspiring our newer members to become involved.  If there are not enough newer members, recruit them.  It is not an easy task in some Districts as we all understand.  We can also ask those members sitting on the sidelines to step up and assist.   The VFW became much more of an enjoyable and meaningful organization as I started participating in some Post activities.  Then before I knew it I was serving in positions I never anticipated, all thanks to my comrades in Post 10216.  It was there that the real feeling a teamwork in the VFW blossomed for me.  Comrades like Frank Sass, Roy Banning, Lee Becher, Okey Warden, Ken Tretow, Jerry Ross, Billy Quintero, Keith Michaels, Ron Davis and so many others to be named, made the VFW become a major part of my life.
