"We are dedicated to a single purpose: empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. We accomplish this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America’s injured heroes on Capitol Hill; and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life."

REMEMBER YOUR CHAPTER!
“Not everything that is faced can be changed.” “But nothing will be changed until it is faced.” – James Baldwin
We are a group of people with a common purpose who value all individuals-as we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, ever mindful that what we do today will leave a lasting impact on those who follow.
I take pleasure in thanking those members who continually support our Chapter through their efforts physically, monetarily, or both-in helping to restore this diamond in the rough.
However, just a few alone are trying to carry the load of what it takes for many to do. I am asking all, to please extend your talents and/or donations in this endeavor toward the operation and repairs needed.
Larry Wells, Sr.Vice Commander
