Vet-O-Gram!
May
03, 2012
I would like to thank everyone for
participating in the chapter elections that was held on April 21st.
The chapter has a very dynamic and forward thinking officers
and board members again this year. Each year the chapter becomes more
and more stable and stronger because of its dedicated members and those
it elects to lead it.
Immediately ahead of the chapter is Mother's Day and Memorial
Day. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the mothers,
especially those of all Veterans. When we left the protection of the
nest and out from under their protective wings, they took on more
worries than they let go off when we chose to serve this wonderful
country of ours.
As many of them were in the background in one capacity or
another, they faced the dreaded possibility as to what awaited their
sons and daughters.
Let's not only remember them and celebrate them on Mother's
Day, but also remember those mothers on Memorial Day, who lost their
loved ones in defense of our freedom.
Finally, we have Memorial Day. Let us make this day, this
year, to honor all those who have made the ultimate sacriface on our
behalf and allows us to enjoy the freedoms we have today. It is the
soldier who gave us the freedom of speech, religion, press, and the
freedom to associate with whom ever we wish.
These are our Fundamental Rights under the First Amendment of
the Consitution of the United States. Rights guaranteed and protected
by those who have gone before us and those who have answered the call
after us and in the future.
God Bless the United States, this country's brave protectors,
and Chapter 472.
Donald
D. Barnard
President,
Chapter 472
